Well, I was referring to the TCSETS/TCGETS problem.  Its not just a 
matter of rxvt, its that I get this same error on alot of other programs.
as far as utmp handling, i compiled 1.93 a few months ago and it works 
fine.  Unless they changed it I am unaware of a utmp problem.

How do you work around that error when you see it?  Is there a compatable 
command in netbsd I can use to substitute?
