In private mail, Richard clarified that he was talking about the
NCR 53c9x / FAS2x6 - driver.
Yes, this bug has always been fixed in the -current tree shortly after the
NetBSD-1.3.1 release, but for some reason* it never was included in 1.3.2.
Anyway, as this was fixed on the main tree, from which 1.4 was branched, it
should also be ok in 1.4.

*) it was a generic error, not Amiga specific, so somebody else did the fix
but it only did show up on Amiga at that time, so maybe this was the
reason he forgot to request pullup of this to the release branch.
