 The problem appears to be that SVR4 and Linux a.out binaries both use the s=
 ame=20
 format, thus the order that the different image activators are tried in=20
 matters.  I suspect that if you kldload svr4.ko first and then kldload=20
 linux.ko that it might work, but that no svr4 binaries would work at that=20
 point.  The only way this can be fixed is if someone can figure out a way t=
 o=20
 distinguish a SVR4 a.out binary from a Linux a.out binary.
