No.  All others work fine (after I export the parent directory unless
it's its own filesystem).  I will note that if I do NOT export the parent
first, /usr/share, /export/local and /export/X11 will NOT work.

Something is BROKEN here.  I think I'll go file a pr. :-)

# I ran into a strange

Tabs vs. Spaces has no effect.  /holt and /usr/src have a tab and a space on
the line, all others have tabs only.  Go figure.

Another detail:
	defender is running 1.4K.
	starwolf is running 1.4S.

On a version-related note, I submit that our internal numbering scheme is
going to suffer if we surpass Z and go to multichar'd revisions.

Isn't our version represented as

#define __NetBSD_Version__ 104190000

...where it's more or less ("%d%02d%02d%02d00", major, minor, rev, patch),
where rev == (rev_letter - '@')?

Or is this particular #define maintained by hand?
