krb5-1.6.3 strange compile output on solaris 10 (x86)

[Troy]

Thanks for the response. Running it with -x, I see this around each Killed,
I'm not sure what it's all about. It's not killing any system processes, and
the host isn't starved for resources. Also, nothing strange in the system
log.

+ expr a : \(a\)
Killed
as_expr=false
