src/cmd/INIT/mamake.c: - Fix a rare build error by applying Oracle's patch to increase mamake's buffer size[*]. Description from the original patch: The build of KornShell might spuriously fail with the following error. ... /usr/bin/ksh: line 40: syntax error at line 44: `else unmatched mamake [lib/libast]: *** exit code 3 making ast.req mamake: *** exit code 139 making lib/libast The patch increases the buffer size of mamake to avoid spurious build failures. I can't reproduce build error, but this patch should be merged anyway because OpenSUSE also increases mamake's buffer size in a patch titled 'workaround-stupid-build-system.diff'[**]. This indicates that the build failure is a heisenbug that can occur on at least Linux and Solaris. [*]: oracle/solaris-userland@7cad9da [**]: https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/shells/ksh/workaround-stupid-build-system.diff?expand=1
