In addition to the other excellent suggestions, I'd suggest using the syntax highlighting editor, and start deleting quotes here and there.

That usually makes it easier to locate the errors. Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
