OK, that explains that with all the related commits backup out
(207265-206664) the resulting config-binary still fails. I don't have
time today to build the kernel with the different revisions to hunt the
problem down to one commit...

imp@: The last commits to usr.sbin/config/* might have raised this
problem, could you have a look at it?

Kind Regards
