See, I was setting CLASSPATH_ROOT to /home/cbj/cvs/classpath where
classpath contains configure, etc.  I had to set it to /home/cbj/cvs
instead.

Okay, I have the following error with yesterday's CVS.  I see no
problem with rerunning jbuild as long as I use the BaseBaseSemiSpace
to avoid long build times.  This unescape paren problem appears in a
few places in jbuild.copy on my system.  I'm using pdksh on Red Hat
8.0.  I'll give the last "released" version a try in the near future.
