I did a cvsup update of Stable source last night (previous one done 
about 30 days ago) and after the 
buildworld>buildkernel>installkernel>reboot(singleuser)>mergemaster -p>installwolrd 
dance when I run the final mergemaster, I get an error when it is 
trying to set the namedb stuff in temproot.  The error it reports is


cd /usr/src/etc/namedb; make install
install -o root -g wheel  -m 644 named.conf 
named.root /var/tmp/temproot/etc/namedb
===> master (install)
install -o root -g wheel  -m 644 empty.db localhost-forward.db 
localhost-reverse.db /var/tmp/temproot/etc/namedb/master
install: wrong number or types of arguments
usage: install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode]
               [-o owner] file1 file2
       install [-bCcpSsv] [-B suffix] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode]
               [-o owner] file1 ... fileN directory
       install -d [-v] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] directory ...
*** Error code 64

As far as I can tell the syntax on the install command is correct 
where it is complaining about the wrong number of arguments.  Has 
anyone else encountered this?
