Oh, I know the bug was there and I know I got bzapped by it. What I don't
know is whether the NetBSD folks have fixed the bug yet. I know there was
a lot of traffic recently about it, but I really wasn't paying a lot of
attention.

If you install 1.5.1 on your 4000/96, you will get hit by the bug. I can't
speak for later versions.
