"ntptrace" and "zipinfo" are old NetBSD 1.3.x a.out binaries.

If I populate an "/emul/aout" tree with 1.4.3 SPARC libraries, will these
work again?  (Running under "ktrace", these programs die at the execve()
of the a.out file.)

I don't really need many of these old programs to run, but it would be
cool if they did.  :-)
