Hi-

I've sent in a couple of reports with 'send-pr' today in the past
couple days.  What I get back starts like this:

Is the 'send-pr' mechanism out of commission? Should I try again
later? Or just send to bugs@freebsd.org? Also, I wasn't too clear from
the 'send-pr' man page if I need to do a 'send-pr --request-id' or
not? The quick version of what I was reporting:

1) zsh-2.6b8 package doesn't add entry to /etc/shells
2) /bin/sh has a problem with quoting in something like this sample
   case:

	x2=XX
	n=2
	t=`eval echo \\\$x$n`
	echo $t

   On everything (HPUX, SunOS, Solaris, IRIX, AIX, DEC OSF1) except
   FreeBSD, that produces 'XX' as output. FreeBSD gives '2' as the
   output. If a bit of redirection is introduced for the dollar sign:

	d='$'
	t=`eval echo ${d}x$n`

   then it works.

So, should I just keep trying send-pr again? Are the above known
problems?

Thanx,
