2.1.102 gives me an empty menu except for save and load alternate config
file. I managed to trace the problem to awk in the callawk function in
scripts/Menuconfig which dies with a segmentation fault. This results in
several of the MCmenu?? files not being created correctly. I modified
callawk's awk error handling code to print out the code that causes the
segmentation fault but couldn't figure out what was wrong. The string next
line continuation looked wrong but I do not thing that an invalid syntax
would have caused a seg fault.
