This is obviously something that shows up on _some_ NetBSD platforms.
The above was on sparc64, but that same problem is the only one I see
in the regression testing on NetBSD/vax that isn't just different
floating point (the VAX doesn't have IEEE), different ordering of
(unordered) collections or different wording of strerror() output.

NetBSD/i386 doesn't have the "Bad address" problem.
