I confirmed, using Git, that this is the only problematic file when checking out head on Windows. On stable/9, lib/libc/gen/aux.c is the only problem. If someone is interested, r239193 could be MFC'd. On stable/8, some files under share/doc/psd/15.yacc are the only problem. r210167 could be MFC'd. Erichelp
