Let me (try to) be a bit more clear. Before I filed the report, I also filed
reports on Gimp and Thunderbird. For those I received quickly responses
telling me the problems had been assigned to people who fixed them shortly
after. For Blender I never got such a response.

Other point is, I'm not a very good programmer. As such, it's not a good
idea if I go on trying to fix code for which there's a living project called
Blender. So, effectively all I can do is filing reports and hoping someone
can and will fix it.

I know NetBSD is a volunteer project. As such I have tried to build Sun Java
and Eclipse on NetBSD/amd64 (since that's what I'm running). I gave up on
that, since Java still isn't available on amd64. I hope it will be in the
near future. Then I can go on trying NetBeans and/or Eclipse.
