    Great! Fixing it as soon as possible is important. NetBSD 2.1
    sounds _perfect_ to me. I want this fix applied to production
    releases in less than two years. I agree with you, it looks like a
    safe bet for release 2.1. :-)

    I read that note on-line. But I have not received a copy of it, though.

    I have submitted some comments that were not included in the on-line
    PR yet, but I have not received it returned from a remote MTA.
    Probably a local mail routing problem. We had a lot of networking
    problems in the last months.

    I only want the best improvements applied to NetBSD. Thomas did a
    nice work with that patch. I will be glad to see that patch applied.

    As observed in http://www.netbsd.org/Goals/system.html: "Some systems
    seem to have the philosophy of `If it works, it's right'. In that light
    NetBSD could be described as `It doesn't work unless it's right'."

    I *really* like that philosophy, that is the reason I am using NetBSD.
    It is a serious operating system for real users.

    Cheers,
    Igor.
