Hi Stephane,

Thanks for checking out the PowerDNS Recursor! 

I'm afraid you have discovered that not a lot of testing is done on NetBSD,
although I personally like this BSD the best.

Sadly we do not currently have access to a NetBSD installation to test
against.

In fact, this is so little difference that I wonder if it really was
compiled with -g, can you double check? OPTFLAGS=-g is probably the best way
to go.

Can you strace during startup? Or the local equivalent? 

Thanks!
