...and this appears to be fixed already in -current (as of 6/20, at
least), in <config/i386/netbsd-elf.h>.

Since -current is stated to track 1.5_ALPHA, it's undoubtedly fixed
there too.

I do wander in at odd moments.  But at least this completes the thread
in this list, in case someone else wanders in.


As for "Charlie Root":  I've been tinkering with xmh, of all things,
which chokes on empty mail folders.  Turns out, it calls XtRealloc()
with size=0, which causes a fatal error.  So I've been testing my fix
for that, but haven't figured out how to get it to supply a reasonable
"From:" line automatically, since my e-mail user name is not my system
login user name.

There is no end to it....
