Assorted NetBSD and general fixes

1Bugs that aren't our fault, but might bite people:

3Modern:

5* You might experience crashes because the default executable stack
6  size is too small. An 8 megabyte stack is more than ample. On unix, it
7  can be raised with 'ulimit -s 8192'. On Windows, you must use the editbin
8  progam that comes with MS development environments to raise the stack on a
9  per-executable basis, via 'editbin /STACK:8388608 netmush.exe'
10
11* Some IPv6-enabled systems are not configured out of the box to tunnel
12  IPv4 connection attempts on the same port to the IPv6 socket that is
13  listening. If you can connect to a local game via ::1 but not
14  127.0.0.1 this is likely the issue. On unix systems, a user with
15  root privileges can do 'sysctl -w net.inet6.ip6.v6only=0', after
16  which you'll have to do a complete shutdown and restart of the mush
17  for the change to take effect. The file /etc/sysctl.conf will have to
18  be changed too so the change persists across reboots.

21Ancient:
22* Ralph Melton reports that compiling with gcc 2.5.8 under SunOS 4.1.1
23  using -O optimization and forking dumps causes the dump process to
24  crash. Removing -O fixes the problem; so might using a more recent gcc.
25* Javelin has confirmed that compiling with gcc 2.7.2.3 under Linux 2.2.16
26  using -O optimization causes ansi(rh,a) to crash. Removing -O fixes
27  the problem; so might using a more recent gcc
