for some reason this sounded familiar so i searched the mailing list
archive for things that mentioned 'awk' (the main system utility used
to generate those files). i dug this up:

|One thing you should watch out for is that the awk and sed scripts

(aha. this would explain why the last message like this came from
korea, too..)
i would hazard a guess that gnu awk works better; you can try hacking
on src/backend/nodes/Gen*.sh to use that instead.
