   Your assertions are not at all true. (!)
   
   ****NetBSD**** is abusing the interface by having libc crash when perfectly
   legal values of the type are sent to a routine in libc.

they are *not* perfectly legal; that is the whole point.
   
   FreeBSD and BSDI don't have this bug; why does NetBSD ?

C programs are allowed to do whatever they like when they have an
"undefined" condition.  this is not a bug.
