So do I.  Maybe 5 a year since 1995.  I agree, there is usually more
meat to the output for an abend.  But google (for "*** Error code 1")
shoes lossage of error information to not be unique to me. 
(Notice how mtree collapses all error information to 0/1 in its
return value, a minor but not unique example).

Anyway, I repeated with build.sh, using this command line:

./build.sh -U -u -D /home/destdir -R /home/release \
	-T /tooldir.NetBSD-3.1_STABLE-i386  release  2>&1 | \
	tee /home/make.Friday.txt

with environment: (some unrelated stuff snipped away)

SHELL=/bin/ksh
BLOCKSIZE=1k
RELEASEDIR=/home/release
MKUPDATE=yes
DESTDIR=/home/destdir
ENV=/root/.kshrc

The build abended in the same place.  Same error, more error messages
this time.  I am repeating the experiment now with an altered mtree,
just for sport.

Output (last 75 or so lines, more on request).
