>Description:
	While trying to build various packages in /usr/pkgsrc,
	/bin/sh dumps core at various times. Also, sometimes it will spin.
	Here's a list of the variouse cores that /bin/sh has dropped
		in /usr/pkgsrc/
	/usr/pkgsrc/archivers/gtar-info/work/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	/usr/pkgsrc/audio/kdemultimedia2/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	/usr/pkgsrc/cad/vipec/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	/usr/pkgsrc/databases/db3/work/db-3.2.9/build_unix/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	/usr/pkgsrc/databases/gdbm/work/gdbm-1.8.0/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	/usr/pkgsrc/devel/gettext/work/gettext-0.10.35/src/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	/usr/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/work/ncurses-5.2/progs/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	/usr/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/work/ncurses-5.2/test/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	/usr/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses/work/ncurses-5.2/lib/sh.core:
		NetBSD/mips core from 'sh' (signal 184549376)

	
>How-To-Repeat:
	As root:
	cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/ncurses; make
	watch for multiple 'segmentation fault; core dumped' messages
>Fix:
	None known.
