Any chance there are parens in the data from deadletters?   The way I
read that error, it looks like `postsuper' is a script that uses the
`test' command which is failing due to bad input.  Based on the error
message, it looks like you're not running this on Linux, is that true?
 The OS flavor may change the diagnosis.
