Great! It looks look both problems have been tackled now!

As I wrote you, when I offered you a new kernel, you got a 1.2-current kernel,
no 1.2 kernel. This is the cause for some programs using libkvm not working
properly. Now that you kernel is working allright, I'm going to get the
1.2 sources from tape and compile a new kernel for you. This might take a
day or 2. If you plan to compile your own kernel, I can also send you the
stuff as a patch. I will compile 'icd' kernels anyway and upload them to
ftp.netbsd.org.

Leo.
