CC'g Henrik @ fluxbox for fluxbox constantly dying bug report.

Making, drinking tea and reading an opus magnum from Matthias Scheler:

Actually it was named as 1.5ZD, but I won't pick on you this early
morning :P....

Ref: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2002/04/08/0012.html,
I was able to install it with an older floppy. The snapshot installs
cleanly and works (to a degree). 

My PS/2 internal laptop mouse refused to work with wsmouse, but once I
downloaded and recompiled my kernel and rebooted with the new kernel,
that mouse seems to work.

- 1.5ZC kernel works/compiles with no errors
NetBSD lucifer 1.5ZC NetBSD 1.5ZC (LUCIFER) #0: Mon Apr  8 15:44:19
PDT 2002     bruno@lucifer:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/LUCIFER i386

- XFree 4.2.0 works 

- The latest cvs'd up userland compiles and installs with no errors.

The other problems I saw were related to fluxbox core dumping on me.
In case you might find it interesting, here is the backtrace:

This is from the -current package of fluxbox version 0.1.5. I am going
to de-install this package and update it to 0.1.7 with debug to see if
I can reproduce the same problem and send a better backtrace.

Till then, I think we should update the package as well.

XFree86 works great. Thanks!
