I had a brief glims at the source code and it appears that it
accommodates both TAS and without TAS platforms. The ultimate test
would be to run the regression tests...

That reminds me, did anyone run the regression tests on the
NetBSD-i386 platform? If so, I would be interested in the logfile and
compare it with the results here.
