Hmmm, something of this sort was probably happening.  I replaced /bin/sh
with bash for a while, booted single user mode, entered /usr/src/bin/sh
and built normally, then replaced /usr/obj/usr/src/bin/sh with /bin/bash
*again* (to avoid bombing half way through installworld when the new sh
was installed), and let it all finish normally.  Rebooted, and now it works.

Sorry for the false alarm everyone...
