Subject:   ex generating bus errors

On November 17, I cvsup'd new RELENG_4 sources, and after dealing with the 
linux kernel module stuff, I got everything rebuilt and reinstalled.  Since 
then, however, vi and ex have been generating bus errors.  Yesterday, after 
returning from a vacation, I had the bright idea of getting newer sources 
and doing a fresh build.  The build fails well into Stage 4 with the following:

===> share/termcap
TERM=dumb ex - /usr/src/share/termcap/termcap.src < 
/usr/src/share/termcap/reorder
Bus error - core dumped
*** Error code 138

Stop in /usr/src/share/termcap.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/share.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src.

There doesn't appear to be a newer ex in /usr/obj at this stage of 
compiling, and forcing the use of the newer libc and libncurses doesn't fix 
the bus errors.  I have not seen any messages on this list or in the recent 
archives regarding this, so I'm assuming operator error is the problem.  Is 
there anything I can do to fix this short of downloading the usrbin piece of 
a recent 4.4-STABLE snapshot and installing it over my existing /usr/bin?
