 Dear Mr.Reed,
 
 hmm, you are of course right, this is not a normal bug.
 
 I am working with a tcsh. Perhaps this is a problem.
 
 It think the bootstrap source should be able to run on every supported System.
 
 The error occurs only in the latest versions. Perhaps it is possible to 
replace 
 the ^ with something else.
 
 Best regards
 Andreas Tannert
