Please note that all fixes in security/critical updates (i.e., NetBSD 4.0.1, 4.0.2, etc) are cumulative, so the latest update contains all such fixes since the corresponding minor release. These fixes will also appear in future minor releases (i.e., NetBSD 4.1, 4.2, etc), together with other less-critical fixes and feature enhancements.
