 ...it's too late for 5.1 at this point.
 
 The first fix is in 5.0; I can ask to get the second fix pulled up
 after 5.1 goes out, so it'll be in the stable branch and in 5.2 if
 there ever is a 5.2.
 
 If the fixes in work in netbsd-4 I can also have them pulled up to the
 netbsd-4 stable branch; the first one ought to work but I'm not sure
 about the second one and (for the moment at least) I can't test it all
 that readily myself...
