 I have slight trouble parsing your PR.
 NetBSD uses the "old" machine ID, mostly for historic reasons.
 
 This does not matter a lot, since both IDs are accepted when analyzing or
 executing binaries and AFAICT the only place where there is an actual 
 difference is when creating core dumps.
 
 So are you suggesting a concrete change? What comment do you think is wrong
 exactly?
