hi-

    we've got a NetBSD 3.0/i386 system with pkgsrc compiled from 
scratch using a Jan 17th pkgsrc CVS tree.

    we are having the same problem reported by Dieter Baron back 
on Jan 3 --- httpd aborts if you try and enable mod_perl.  
has this been fixed?  if so, what do I update?  if not, has a 
PR been filed?

    you can force it to work by preloading libpthread (using
LD_PRELOAD).
