You're welcome, and, yes, the Installer does work as well, although I find
hfsutils to be a bit faster.

Hmmm....strange.  You might want to read through the configure script and
figure out what it is trying to do when it tests mmap().  It's conceivable
that it's not obeying the way NetBSD does it (although I'd doubt NetBSD's
mmap() is called different from anyone else's).  I've had munmap() cause a
crash before, but never mmap()...

Later.
