	I went ahead and did a make build after applying the patch and
everything went perfectly.  I then went and recompiled my kernel using the
new sources.  After a reboot, everything seems fine.  dmesg says I'm now
running NetBSD 1.4.1.  
	I noticed an option in the makefile called UPDATE.  In
/usr/share/mk/bsd.README it says that with this option, only recently
modified targets will be installed.  This sounds like it could cut down on
the make build time.  Does anyone have any experience with this option?
I'm going ahead with the next patch to 1.4.2.  I'll post more if I run into
an error, otherwise, I think I'll be able to get to 1.4.3 from here.
