Had a syntax error turn up in /usr/portage/eclass/eutils.eclass tuesday

Down around line 977... it's missing ";;" in a case structure that evaluates 
bzip's... Why this hasn't turned up before is a puzzle...

So far, it's turned up on three gentoo boxes...

For the newbies, here's what the FIXED case block looks like:

        case ${filetype} in
                *tar\ archive)
                        tail -n +${skip} ${src} | tar -xf -
                        ;;
                bzip2*)
                        tail -n +${skip} ${src} | bzip2 -dc | tar -xf -
                        ;;
                gzip*)
                        tail -n +${skip} ${src} | tar -xzf -
                        ;;
                *)
                        false
                        ;;
        esac
P.S. Running the latest versions of everything on my gentoos...
