 This is a pre-production release.  It seems to work quite well.  In fact, I
 can't find any problems with it whatsoever.  If you do, I want to know.

+Note that on NetBSD, there are several bugs in libpuffs and librefuse
 which prevent some tests from succeeding. There are fixes in NetBSD's
 MAIN branch, specifically revisions 1.26 and 1.27 on src/lib/libpuffs/subr.c,
 which correct the issues that cause the test failures. However, there is
 still a bug in librefuse that causes readdir() to only be called once.
 We will be addressing this with the appropriate developers in the near
 future.
