Well, the pkgsrc scripts are broken (or the package is)!
The is caused when line 34 of bsd.pkginstall.mk processed the
'user' field of 'ahavi' which contains an embedded "\ ".
That isn't treated specially be the .for code so becomes 2 loops
with the data for the first ending in a '\'.
I don't suppose that _PKG_VARS.pkginstall is expecyed to contain
such crap.

(The trailing '\' is escaping the '}' at the end of the variable name!)

I will get make to escape it in the ;U data later.
