The above message contained the following:

So, FreeBSD's ls(1) utility is non-standard, eh? That's good to know. Is
your FreeBSD up-to-date? If not, do you know if the latest FreeBSD has
the same non-conforming ls(1)?

I think it might -- but I'm not a Perl expert.

Try replacing the "x" with a "1" (numeral one) in the file
bin/pqbinstats. There should be two places. Please let me know what you
discover. If it works, then I'll make that change to the source.
