 I did normal clean install with 5.2.1-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso, cvsup
 to latest RELEASE_5_2, make buildworld; make buildkernel; make
 installkernel; make installworld and mergemaster. Mergemaster only wanted
 to update /etc/motd.
 My src tree doesn't have executable bit set for aliases, so perhaps I
 accidentally have chmod'd the file or some script messed up.
