They are tested... on NetBSD. In any case it's not easy to find an application
that will exercise a buffer overflow or a fix in sysconf.

I'm actually in no hurry for getting them committed, I'm satisfied that there
IS a patch and someone wanting to work on this will find it easier to catch on.

That said, I will probably try reinstalling 1386 in the future.

cheers,

   Pedro.
