The tars essentially are packages..
Just in case I installed icu (unicode) and set DLLPATH, but the problem
seems more fundamental:

# file /emul/pecoff/usr/bin/regutil
/emul/pecoff/usr/bin/regutil: MS Windows PE Intel 80386 console executable not relocatable
# ktrace /emul/pecoff/usr/bin/regutil
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
# kdump
  1533 ktrace   EMUL  "netbsd"
  1533 ktrace   CALL  execve(0xbfbfed2f,0xbfbfec68,0xbfbfec70)
  1533 ktrace   NAMI  "/emul/pecoff/usr/bin/regutil"
  1533 ktrace   NAMI  "/emul/pecoff/usr/libexec/ld.so.dll"
  1533 ktrace   NAMI  "/emul/pecoff"
  1533 ktrace   NAMI  "/emul/pecoff/usr/libexec/ld.so.dll"
  1533 regutil  EMUL  "pecoff"
  1533 regutil  RET   execve JUSTRETURN
  1533 regutil  CALL  mmap(0,0x8000,3,0x1002,0xffffffff,0,0,0)
  1533 regutil  RET   mmap -1111527424/0xbdbf7000
  1533 regutil  PSIG  SIGSEGV SIG_DFL
  1533 regutil  NAMI  "regutil.core"


Has this feature died a death? Are any of you using it?

Cheers,
