>Description:
when setting the GREP_OPTIONS environment variable to "-E" (to inforce extended regular expressions by default on command line) make in the ports directory will fail with the following message:

  ===>  Vulnerability check disabled
  ===>  Extracting for libflash-0.4.10
  >> No checksum recorded for flash-0.4.10.tgz.
  *** Error code 1
  
  Stop in /usr/ports/graphics/libflash.

somewhere in the make process the /usr/ports/$some/$port/distinfo is grep'ed for the distfile name of the ports. fetch will fail with GREP_OPTIONS set to -E.

when deleting/renaming distinfo, the port will fetch and configure/build but won't install...

>How-To-Repeat:
setenv GREP_OPTIONS -E
cd /usr/ports/$some/$port
make
>Fix:
unsetenv GREP_OPTIONS

if needed, use an alias instead of GREP_OPTIONS environment variable
