>Description:
The "afterinstall" rule in share/zoneinfo/Makefile writes directly to the
METALOG, and does so without any kind of locking, so its output can get
tangled up with other output, like this:

./u1/ben/netbsd/dest.acorn32/usr/share/zoneinfo/Antarctica/Mawson ty./u1/ben/netbsd/dest.acorn32/usr/share/sushi/procs/startallprocs/script type=file mode=0555 uname=root gname=wheel

./u1/ben/netbsd/dest.acorn32/usr/share/zoneinfo/Antarctica/DumontDUrville type=file mode=0444 uname=root gname=wheel

>How-To-Repeat:
        sh build.sh \
                -j 2 -U -m $MACHINE \
                -T /u1/ben/netbsd/tools \
                -O /u1/ben/netbsd/obj.$MACHINE \
                -D /u1/ben/netbsd/dest.$MACHINE \
                -R /u1/ben/netbsd/release.$MACHINE \
                2>&1 | gzip -c > /u1/ben/netbsd/logs/build.log.$MACHINE.gz

Then inspect the metalog.
