FYI, NetBSD-current was patched the same day/hour as FreeBSD-current by
myself.

Merges of the patches required for the "release" versions of both OS's
happened some time later after the appropriate procedures were followed.

An email was sent to bugtraq as well as the IPFilter list with patches
to address the problem.  Perhaps that email needs to be sent to a few
NetBSD lists since the other gears seem to be turning rather slowly...
