>Description:
	I was building pkgsrc-2007Q1 with pkg_comp, and it failed with
	lang/perl:

Stripping down executable paths...
Creating config.sh...
./config.sh: 779: Syntax error: ")" unexpected
*** Error code 2

Stop.

	Sure enough, line 779 reads

myuname='netbsd radl.falu.nl 3.0 netbsd 3.0 (radl's pervasion of the incorrect chord) #2: sun nov 26 21:46:18 cet 2006 root@radl.falu.nl:usrsrcsysarchamd64compileradl amd64 '

	Note the ' in "radl's".

	Strangely enough, the / characters that also occur in the output from
	uname -a (reproduced above in the System: section) are removed
	even though they seem harmless to me.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Compile a kernel from a config file with 

ident 		"Radl's Pervasion of the Incorrect Chord"

	and then try to compile perl.

	I wonder what other packages will break...

>Fix:

	A new patch file
