I'm on the kaffe mailing list - according to one of the developers, the
Sparc port for NetBSD is pretty much disfunctional. I tried to get it
going on my IPX using 1.3.2 but even 'pizza HelloWorldApp.java' caused a core
dump. I tried the 'official' release and some of the latest snaps. None of them
worked.

Hate to say it but I had to use an i386 NetBSD box instead.
hate it when that happens.

Maybe this will change things.. Hope it does : >
