>Description:
bsd.port.mk uses the shell when it should be using xargs(1).
The long package dependency lists of gnome is too much for the shell
to handle.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome
make package-depends
or
sh /usr/src/release/scripts/print-cdrom-packages.sh 1
>Fix:
Use xargs, or document the kernel tweak necessary to make this work.
