  I'm glad it's fixed now.

  I'm not sure how we'd get the word out...I think it's even worse, 'cause I'm
far from a beginner here...I've been using NetBSD on many platforms since the
very beginning; I read the lists, I follow the announcements, and I *still*
didn't know about this.

  I've been hearing rumblings about an upcoming 1.4 release...I'm hoping that
if that comes soon enough, and if it's announced with enough fanfare ("users
are urged to upgrade! everything is great! do this!") the problem will just go
away.

  Thanks for the info...
