That error is due to this change:

	revision 1.43
	date: 2003/02/27 17:44:53;  author: markus;  state: Exp;  lines: +19 -9
	further changes for white space support

-    awk '$1 !~ /GRASS_GUI/ {print}' "$GISRC" > "$GISRC.$$"
+    awk '$ARGS !~ /GRASS_GUI/ {print}' "$GISRC" > "$GISRC.$$"

-                        awk '$1 !~ /GRASS_GUI/ {print}' "$GISRC" > "$GISRC.$$"
+                        awk '$ARGS !~ /GRASS_GUI/ {print}' "$GISRC" > "$GISRC.$$"

I don't understand exactly what was intended in the general case
(changing $1 to $ARGS), but it's clear that this specific case is
wrong: in the "awk" commands, "$1" is an awk variable, not a shell
variable, so it shouldn't have been changed.

I'll fix the specific awk problem myself.

Regarding the more general changes, I'd appreciate it if Markus could
provide some insight into the motivation behind changing $1 to $ARGS.
