you guess right: you don't understand his answer. :) he says:
"/bin/sh was broken up to 4.7 in that it allowed "& &&". the port
that broke for you abused this bug; you can get rid of it by
updating your ports tree. doing so will get you an updated version
of the port in which the $PREFIX/etc/rc.d script was fixed to not
rely on that buggy behavior."
Kris, please correct me if I read that wrong.
