System: NetBSD fuchsia.cs.mu.OZ.AU 1.6F NetBSD 1.6F (FUCHSIA) #16: Sat Aug 24 14:26:40 ICT 2002 kre@fuchsia.cs.mu.OZ.AU:/usr/obj/sys/FUCHSIA i386

>Description:
	If XKB is not loaded in the X server (perhaps because the
	xkb compiler fails, perhaps because /usr (containing /usr/X11R6)
	is mounted read only, so /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/compiled cannot
	be written to, then xkbset will dump core (for most usages).
>How-To-Repeat:
	Arrange (one way or another) to not be using xkb.   Run
	xkbset q (or almost any other usage of xkb, aside from printing
	the usage/help message)   Watch for the core dump...
>Fix:
	Create a new file patches/patch-ab containing the following
