Dear FreeBSD,
I just tried to install postfix, and the install crashed
at an invocation of 'install', saying bad usage.
I noticed it was a new postfix-1.11, so I tried the recent
1.10, which gave the same result.
I typed in the suspect command myself as root, and it worked
fine. It just wouldn't work with the script.
Then I noticed that I had just done a cvsup, and the sizes
of the 'install' commands on the two FreeBSD4.6 systems are different,
and the older one works.
The good one is
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 12004 Jun 13 21:42 /usr/bin/install
FreeBSD etaq.com 4.6-RC FreeBSD 4.6-RC #2: Thu Jun 13 21:54:57 CDT 2002

The bad one (at least it can't install postfix) is:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11956 Jul 28 14:56 /usr/bin/install*
