System: NetBSD cowboy-burt 1.4.3A NetBSD 1.4.3A (COWBOY-BURT) #1: Fri Jul 20 06:58:40 EDT 2001 dan@cowboy-burt:/mnt/syssrc-1-4/sys/arch/sparc/compile/COWBOY-BURT sparc


>Description:
when using build.sh to build a netbsd/i386 release, sysinst build fails when processing
the french messages.  the failure is due to ksh wanting to have ( and ) escaped
in ${foo#((msg)(long)} exapansion.  The result is the ((msg)(long) is not removed
and all the messages are eaten producing lots of errors like:

ERROR: unknown message "What_do_you_want_to_do"
ERROR: unknown message "Try_again"
ERROR: unknown message "Give_up"

	
>How-To-Repeat:
env HOST_CC=gcc ./build.sh -m i386 -T /export/home1/software/build/tools \
-D /export/home1/software/build/destdir.i386 \
-R /export/home1/software/build/release/i386 release

	
>Fix:

This seems to work on solaris-2.6 but I haven't verified that it does
not break building on NetBSD.
