[Yes, it's more of the awk stuff. I did a search through all of
-CURRENT's /usr/src (as of this morning), looking for
\[:[a-z][a-z]*:\]
and outside of the code for programs that would actually be expected to
manipulate such constructs (such as contrib/perl), I found a couple in
sys/boot/common/merge_help.awk; the others were sed expressions. Of
course, one of the other interesting issues with the above patch is that
awk was whining about the empty regex ("//"). Since the idea was
apparently to do nothing for such a record, it seemed simpler to just
not tell awk to do anything with it, and that seemed to work in my
tests.]
Cheers,
david
