Can someone please apply this portability patch to genbki.sh ? (Mark or
Bruce?)
It fixes a problem when cpp gives a warning when precompiling /dev/null
like:
"/dev/null", line 1: 1506-229 (W) File is empty.
This leads to a hangup when doing the description load during initdb,
since stderr also ends up in the global1.description and
local1_template1.description
stderr has to be redirected to /dev/null:
*** genbki.sh.ori Tue Aug 21 18:18:03 1998
--- genbki.sh Tue Aug 25
10:32:19 1998
