Speaking of bugs in migration scripts....

The "chktrapd.con" script that checks for problems in the trapd.conf file
has a small bug.  When counting for > 99 words on a given line, if the line
contains any asterix characters (*) such as are used frequently in our
event messages, then the script code:
        wordcount=`echo $line | wc -w`
causes the "*"s to be expanded and counted.  I found this while running it
while I was cd'd into /usr/OV/bin and so I had a lot of lines > 99 words.

Simply quoting "$line" would solve this problem.

Thanks.
