Hm. I have a patch to the db4 package for sparc where I ran into the same
problem, years back before my second pair of SM71s went belly-up, and I
moved the installation to a B/W G3 Macintosh. db4's test routines were fine
with these patches, but as nobody else appeared to run into the issue,
and/or care, they still reside on my harddrive.

Why you would run into the issue for m68k netbsd-7, and not earlier,
though, is funny - it's not like the db4 sources have changed much
recently, is it?
