    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!
