 I don't see this, and I don't see anything wrong around line 1106.
 
 The pkgsrc patch for this file only comments out 4 lines.
 You can try removing it to check if it changes anything.
 If it doesn't, please report this upstream.
 
 Also, the script itself says it should be run with --debug when
 reporting bugs.
