Get rid of gnu-sort from contrib and use NetBSD's sort, which was imported five months ago but apparently never incorporated into the build process. Gnu-sort does not appear to understand +# arguments whereas NetBSD's sort does. This solved the problem for me. -- Carl Schmidt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
