Do this in your bbc and bbd folders:

grep -rl 'HEAD -' *

this will give you the name of every file that utilizes "$HEAD -" 
(remove the 'l' option if you want to see the actual context)...you'll 
notice that the args are given within the ext script or page generation 
script explicitly...the only way to fix this is to do it manually to my 
knowledge.  I'd make a copy of the original first so that I could create 
a patch to apply whenever I upgraded.

that being said, I don't know what OS you are utilizing but I thought 
the makefile would ensure the correctness...I am using it under several 
different OSes and they all look to have the correct arguments set 
up...(ie, under rhel 2.1, I see '-1', under solaris I see '-n 1', etc).
