Sure, I'll give it a try as soon as I find the time.

I would test it myself but I still haven't got the PowerPC machine back
online that broke down at IBM.

Don't worry, I maybe chose the wrong words but wanted to say: "I'm on it
asap."

Ok, looks like there's a "local" keyword used outside of a function in a
partman startup(?) file:

```
Apr  6 20:22:36 partman:   No matching physical volumes found
Apr  6 20:22:36 partman:   Reading all physical volumes.  This may take
a while...
Apr  6 20:22:36 main-menu[209]: (process:4259):
/lib/partman/init.d/26zfs-devices: local: line 19: not in a function
Apr  6 20:22:36 main-menu[209]: INFO: Menu item 'partman-base' succeeded
but requested to be left unconfigured.
```

But that file ([1]) is 5 years old, so maybe the way the shell -
actually `busybox` - handles (or ignored) a "local" keyword outside of a
function has changed?
