1.12 is the version that comes with current NetBSD, it is the same I 
have on x86 too.

I was trying to make Ink crash again, but it wouldn't. I am exporting to 
another computer though, I will try to analyze this, perhaps it has to 
do with the Xserver, available fonts or such.

However, while clicking menus and testing out various stuff, I got this 
crash as soon I did a right-click in the text:

2015-01-05 19:22:49.436 Ink[539] Model file load failed for GSSpellPanel

Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
[Switching to LWP 1]
0x2030f2b8 in -[NSTextView(leftovers) rightMouseDown:] (self=0x22f95148,
    _cmd=0x205127cc, theEvent=0x22f35568) at NSTextView.m:5876
5876          if ([sp checkSpellingOfString: word startingAt: 
0].location != NSNotFound)

(gdb) p sp
$1 = (struct NSSpellChecker *) 0x0

I suppose that since sp is null, we can't access a member of its struct 
on SPARC. However why are we even attempting that?
