This is so weird.  It happens to me on different versions of NetBSD with
the latest pkgsrc and no where else.  Not one person has responded and a
search of the net finds no one else even experiencing the problem.  Am I
really the only one that has ever seen this?  Please, has anyone even
seen this problem and can I get any hints whatsoever?  I tried following
(and continue to follow) the code back from where this error is printed
but I can't see why my environment is any different than everyone else
in the world.
