>Description:
bsdinstall distextract|distfetch causes a segmentation fault when invoked from
an installed system. It does not check for the presence of the DISTRIBUTIONS
variable in the environment.
>How-To-Repeat:
Invoke either bsdinstall distfetch or bsdinstall distextract
>Fix:
Apply the attached patch to properly check for the presence of the
DISTRIBUTIONS variable before trying to make a copy
