 The issue is the declaration of "ospeed". In ex.h it is declared as:
 
 
 #ifdef POSIX_1
 extern  speed_t ospeed;         /* Output speed (from gtty) */
 #else
 extern  short   ospeed;         /* Output speed (from gtty) */
 #endif
 
 
 but NetBSD wants it as extern short ospeed;
 
 
 So alignment mismatches, and we crash.
 
 I don't know if the ifdef is correct, so this might be a lib bug in NetBSD
 as well.
 
 Using the second definition instead makes ex work.
