That is a work around a NetBSD bug, right? If so, there

should be some procedure to retest presence of the bug in

new NetBSD releases, and record the versions for which the

bug has been found to be present. Then, when the newest

release with the bug is not supported in Python anymore, the

code can be removed (which might well be 10 years from now).



If possible, a code fragment like



#if (NetBSD_major == 3) or (NetBSD_major==4)

// bug present, add work-around

#else

#error Please check whether the bug is still present

#endif
