I guess none of my machines must be "important", then.  I'm running 1.4
on a 486DLC, a SPARCstation 1+, and an AlphaPC164LX.  Amusingly in view
of your picking the Alpha as one of the systems to complain about, the
Alpha is the stablest of the three.

It happens.  I've even had one of mine incorrectly closed by someone
who glanced at it and missed a critical bit of info, tried something
based on the subject rather than the "how to reproduce", saw no
problem, and concluded no problem existed.  (The underlying bug never
was fixed; it's still in 1.4.  Someday perhaps I'll try to convince
enough people that it *is* a bug to get a fix committed.)

NetBSD is user-supported.  User.  That means *you too*...as I've been
told on a couple of occasions when I've started, basically, feeling
that NetBSD-qua-NetBSD had some kind of responsibility towards me.

If you'd care to send me the PR numbers, I can have a look and see if
any of them are anything I have any clue about.  I don't know the
MacPPC, but I have some minor degree of clue wrt the Alpha, and may be
able to help with MI things.

I'm sorry to hear that.  It has some things I don't like too.  But your
claim that it flatly "no longer works" does not match my experience.
As I said, send me the PR numbers and I may be able to help.  (Note
that I also may not; in particular, I can't debug a problem I can't
reproduce, and until I try I can't tell whether yours are such.)
