   I think it is still a problem:
   
   Make sure you're running NetBSD-5 sparc64. Download 32-bit NetBSD-5
   sparc sets and unpack them under /emul/netbsd32.
   
   Running 32-bit bin/sh causes segmentation fault:
   
   ultra10# /emul/netbsd32/bin/sh
   [1]   Segmentation fault (core dumped) (set -o tabcomplete 2>/dev/null)
   ultra10# exit
   
   Also
   
   ultra10# /emul/netbsd32/bin/ksh
   Memory fault (core dumped)
   Memory fault (core dumped)
   ultra10# exit


hmm, what happens if you don't have /emul/netbsd32?  ie, just copy
those /bin/ksh or /bin/sh files somewhere and run them as is.

/emul/netbsd32 is probably going to be going away as being used.
i haven't really thought deeply about this, but, i don't want to
keep two methods of 32 bit support around and the new one is much
better, so it's likely this will disappear.

thanks!
