You don't say which version of gated you're using. I've had only
one problem with 3.5beta4 which will only strike you if you have
a lot of interfaces on a machine (as in, a couple of hundred), and that
had nothing to do with NetBSD in particular.

I've appended the config file I use; try it out and let me know
what problems you have. Note that I run it on 386 machines, though;
there could well be endianness problems in the program that haven't
been brought to light by my usage.
