>Release:        FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE i386
>Environment:

	FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE on i386 machine (does it on all 2.2-STABLE
	boxes I have access to)

>Description:

	I have a Makefile which has 8 spaces instead of the leading
	tab (yes, I know that makes it incorrect).  Instead of gracefully
	aborting, it looks like a buffer is being overflowed and
	make is coredumping.

>How-To-Repeat:

Use the Makefile in
http://www.best.com/~mcravit/pilot/HelloWorld.tar.gz (you don't need
any other software -- make vomits before it starts running external
commands).

>Fix:
	
I haven't looked at the source to make nor made a patch.
