Yes, it does indeed seem to be broken. Bummer, dude. :-)
I hacked together a little quick-and-dirty script last night that did
the job. Yeah, I know, using find's "-exec" is not as efficient as
xargs, but I did say it was "quick-and-dirty". At least it does
call the static version of sh under /rescue. :-):
#!/bin/sh
#
# makereadmes
#
# force all ports' (with some exclusions) README.html files to be
# created
