I really hope this gets fixed before 1.6 is released.  Alternatively,
some kind soul could send me a fre SS20's or some such to run NetBSD on ;)

I see.  Well, the 1.5ZA kernel you gave me works OK and I built a 1.6beta4
kernel while running it.  The 1.6 kernel also works (I applied the patch
from you) and I'm building pkgsrc stuff with it.  No signal 11's so far..

Still, system time usage seems pretty high to me.. over 50% at times
when running gcc.

Oh, I'll have to try that :-)  Thanks!
