i can't be sure on this, but i'm willing to bet that it's because
that's what was shipped as *source* with 386bsd-0.1...
when building NetBSD, we didn't even look at the (running! 8-)
386bsd binaries, we concerned ourselves only with the source.
unfortunately, there were at least a couple of inconsistencies in the sources
and binaries that shipped w/0.1...
