Using a userland and kernel from Sunday, April 6 2003, I hit this when
trying to upgrade to today's current too.  Unfortunately, rebuilding
/bin/sh didn't quite work while I was in single-user mode...  Probably
because the file /bin/sh is 'in use'.  I've brought my workstation
up by running while in single user mode:

	# exec /bin/csh
	name# cp /usr/local/bin/bash /bin/sh
	name# exit

I'll try rebuilding now.  Who knows *why* this happens?  I think it
definitely deserves an UPDATING entry.
