I tracked it down to the copy of /usr/src/etc/Makefile on sup.au.freebsd.org being broken, it is only 2048 bytes long whereas the one on ftp.freebsd.org is 6156 bytes long. The real problem is for some reason sup does not try and replace the incomplete file with the proper one unless I delete the broken file first. It that correct behaviour for sup or nasty bug? I wonder how many other short files it had missed? - Ernie.
