>Description:

	make(1) generates bogus output in a certain error situation.
	It is trying to display a string that has apparently already
	been free'd (this is detected by setting /etc/malloc.conf 'AJ').

>How-To-Repeat:

	$ ln -sf AJ /etc/malloc.conf
	$ cat > Makefile

	FOO_VAR=        ${BAR_VAR:S/$/.ps}

	all:            ${FOO_VAR}

	^D
	$ make
	Unclosed substitution for  (/ missing)
	make: don't know how to make ÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐÐ. Stop
	$
