Mike,

Offhand, a guess would be that your awk output looks unusual to
me, or maybe perhaps it's something that the shell has passed down.

To help us narrow it down a bit, try doing exactly the same as
before, only this time add a PKG_DEBUG_LEVEL=2 to the invocation
of "make update", and see what the output gives. However, be aware
that there'll be a lot of output.

You should also check for any definitions of AWK or SH in /etc/mk.conf
or your environment.

Regards,
Alistair
