Rather than recompiling OpenBSD I decided to start fresh and installed
Debian/sparc instead.  I can compile CVS HEAD and it serves requests
fine.  The control port does not ever respond but I don't really need
it for the project I'm working on so I just don't load nscp.so at the
moment.  Sometime I might go back and poke & try and figure out why...

But then I'd have to do without the ns_* Tcl API.  :)
