Strange installworld failure.

[stable at d.sparks.net]

Hi All;

I've recently cvsupped a whole stable full of machines to 4.9-RC-x over
the last weekend.  All but one went smoothly.

This one system, "crunch", does "make buildworld" fine, "make
buildkernel" fine, "make installkernel" fine, but chokes with the
following error message when trying to "make installworld":

It always stops in the same place.  To save a lot of time and suggestions,
I've already:

o cvsupped/recompiled/re-installed
o I'm doing it all in single user mode
o I installed the new kernel before attempting the make installworld
o I rm -r'd /usr/src/* and /usr/obj, untarred a /usr/src tarball from
    another system that had no problem with the installworld
o compared make.conf with make.conf from one of the systems that worked.

Suggestions on how to track this down most welcome:)  pointers to the M to
FR welcome.

Thanks in advance,
