See previous reply. You give them too much credit, since they are the same folk who removed the bits with the nanosec additions. Nate ps. The reason NetBSD doesn't have this is the same reason their CVS tree is not public. The code in their CVS tree is *still* pre-Lite bits, let alone Lite/Lite2. (Though I suspect they've imported some of the bits from both, though obviously not all of them.....)
