mopd was also dumping core for me on 1.5 i386.  I checked out mopd
from -current and built it, and it seems to work.  Looking at the diff
between -current and tag netbsd-1-5-RELEASE, the only real code change
was to mopd/process.c.  The commit log for the change says the
following:

  revision 1.10
  date: 2000/11/19 16:40:16;  author: bouyer;  state: Exp;  lines: +4 -2
  Fix bin/11253: seg-fault in mopd
  Once we found the correct slot, make sure dle points to it. dle was left
  pointing out of the array by the for(;;) loop.
  Fix from Ken Wellsch <kwellsch@tampabay.rr.com>

Is this the sort of thing that deserves to be pulled up into the 1.5
branch?
