Yeah, I actually had to stumble over this recently introduced buglet;
Tru64 sed interprets everything between the first 't' and newline/end
of script as a label, then complains about the label being longer than
6 characters. :-/
(Of course this is all duly documented in the Autoconf manual section on
shell portability).
Pushed both branches.
Cheers,
