 There's really not anything actionable from this report, the backtrace
 is unusable. I tried to reproduce this using the most analogous
 hardware I had (about four years newer), a netbook with an Atom N270
 (1.6 GHz) processor, 1GB of RAM, etc. Unfortunately, I ran into mostly
 or completely unrelated regressions between NetBSD 9.3 and 10.0 RC1 on
 it (including that X would crash and in turn cause a kernel panic), and
 didn't get far enough to actually try out the package there. I then
 stood up 10.0 RC1 i386 in a VM (backed by an Intel Haswell CPU, 2GB of
 RAM available), which successfully runs MuseScore without issue (e.g.,
 editing a score). So this issue seems specific to the reporter's
 hardware. I would point out it's problematic expecting a modern music
 processor to run reliably on roughly twenty-year-old hardware that's
 well below the minimum specs the upstream project quotes.
