i think it's worth saying the same thing, in reverse:
If you find a bug in 386BSD, please report it to the NetBSD and patchkit
people, as well as the Jolitzes.
after all, they've received some fixes (e.g. over 1M kernel booting, and
lots of others) a *long* time ago (i.e. last *year*) which have yet to
see the light of day.
[ *that* is one of the main reasons we (the NetBSD Folk) are doing
NetBSD -- we want to make useful changes and/or have people give us
fixes, and we want the public to have ready *access* to them ]
