G'day Jukka,

this is the same problem I have with net/avahi. It uses a backslash and a 
space character in the PKG_USER variable assignment. Removing both resulted 
in a successful installation. Have a look in the package's Makefile and 
search for variables that use a backslash as an escape character.

The error is generated inside var_pars.c. I haven't looked any further as I 
have to hurry to work.

cheerio Berndt
