No, it should not. NetBSD-current has one, but thats NOT 1.3.3.

1.3.3 is a patch release with, basically, bug fixes.
-current is the current developer tree, which is public, but somewhat
experimental.

It should be possible to apply and TEST the diff... However, I can't do that
myself, since I'm (slowly) recovering from an Alzheimer disk.

I promise to create a patch set during the holidays, however.
