Thanks for your report. I've fixed it in the CVS.

The stage2/size_test script uses the "local" builtin command,
which is not supported by some /bin/sh implementations. On my
system, /bin/sh is pdksh, which lacks "local", so this test
fails. The script should either avoid using "local", or
change the interpreter to /bin/bash. It looks like the script
does not actually depend on the semantics of "local", and only
uses it as a matter of style.
