people,

at the bottom is the last several lines of an upgrade that has been 
failing for some time.

i'm running 7.3, #1 on an older i386 and did a cvsup to update 7_3.
further, i completely removed old stuff in /usr/obj before going over
to /usr/src and typing ``# make buildworld''  this happened once
several weeks ago, again last night, and again today.  time to see if
anyone else has seen this.  

tia,

gary
