52: The readv(2) and writev(2) system calls would not accept a <em>struct iovec</em>
53: with an <strong>iov_len</strong> of 0. This causes a db test in perl to fail.

80: A problem with NFS version 3 mounts on big endian machines (m68k, sparc

108: <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/common/terminfo.db-LE.tar.gz>

167: The sparc hme(4) driver works poorly on some types of of SS-20 machines.
168: This is because those machines lie, saying they support 64-bit DMA
169: bursting. No sun4m machines supprort that.
