And it's sat there ever since :(  I've been trying to get ones like
that some attention.

There have been a number of changes to physio (and st) since 1.6,
so... maybe. I think in -current or 5.0 beta it probably at least
won't crash the system any more just because you get an I/O error from
the system. (Although on the other hand, beware of PR 38643.)

I don't have any idea if anything's been done with the vax-specific
patches, but if you can find them it should be possible to figure out.

The urls in the original report are all stale, I'm afraid.
