[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Thanks, this appears to be due to an old Bash bug.  Could you please try the 
attached patch?  Assuming you don't have the autotools installed, please patch 
your top-level Makefile (which you've already built) instead of patching 
src/local.mk.  I've installed this, since it seems pretty obviously needed 
regardless of whether it fixes your bug.
