It must be something in the shell that's being used.....

Running AMD64: FreeBSD 5.4-PRERELEASE #284: Fri Mar  4, I get
cd /usr/share/nls;  set - `grep "^[a-zA-Z]" /home1/usr/src/etc/nls.alias`; 
while[ $# -gt 0 ] ;  do  echo "arg1 = $1, arg2 = $2";  rm -rf "$1";  ln -s 
"$2" "$1";echo "all args are: $*"; shift; shift;  done
arg1 = POSIX, arg2 = C
barf
all args are: POSIX C
barf C
en_US_US-ASCII C
arg1 = C
en_US_US-ASCII, arg2 = C
all args are: C
en_US_US-ASCII C
[ I did mess a little with the file contect of nls.alias to test]

Which is absolutely different from running it on i386: FreeBSD 5.3-STABLE #1: 
Fri Nov 26:
cd /usr/share/nls;  set - `grep "^[a-zA-Z]" /usr/src5/src/etc/nls.alias`; 
while[ $# -gt 0 ] ;  do  echo "arg1=$1, arg2=$2";  rm -rf "$1";  ln -s "$2" 
"$1";  echo "remaning: $*";  shift; shift;  done
arg1=POSIX, arg2=C
remaning: POSIX C en_US.US-ASCII C
arg1=en_US.US-ASCII, arg2=C
remaning: en_US.US-ASCII C

So the question are:
- What shell is being used during makeworld??
- And why is mine acting up.
- why does it not crash in the exact same piece of code a few lines earlier?

I'll see how far I get if I comment this part.
