On a related note, I've been trying to get pkgsrc sshd working on netbsd-5 
too (with -7 as a client) as the base sshd fails to get Tunnel=ethernet 
working (device not configured when opening /dev/tap0).

However when I try, it connects but sshd quickly dies with:
channel 0: adjust 97803 overflows remote window 4294878045
