Eh? I've not used NetBSD much recently, and certainly not on SPARC since 
about 3.1, but I thought threading would have been fixed in 4 considering 
it's been broken since 2.0. Not a rant at anyone, just an observation.

For reference, does -current fix scheduler activations, or just dump
the mess for a 1:1 threading model?
