My immediate thought (and something that's been sitting at the back of my
mind and completely failing to get any useful attention for months) is
that we might have some but not all of the copyin/out updates in the 1.6
branch, and might hence have a copyin/out that handles misaligned buffers
wrongly.

Unfortunately, I haven't unpacked any of my NetBSD/arm boxes since I moved
house in November (well, apart from the NC, but it's not really a
development box), and I've been busy making PuTTY go on Mac OS, so I've
been kind of neglecting NetBSD.
