Well, I just checked the tree: the netbsd-1-4-PATCH001 tag in xsrc
includes the fix for PR#7767, so it should be in the 1.4.1 sets. So
you might be seeing a different bug.

I've just moved and my Mac isn't currently on the net (I only have PPP
for the moment and the Mac doesn't have a modem, so I'll have to set
up NAT on my notebook or something), but I'll try to look at this at
some point.
