Problem in patch 26 - Configure

This patch got made to Configure in pl26:
- if expr "$ans" : '0$\|-?[1-9][0-9]*$' > /dev/null; then
+ if expr "$ans" : '0$\|-\?[1-9][0-9]*$' > /dev/null; then

That's in the int function. There's a similar \ added before a + in the hex
function. This breaks configure. Every time you give an answer to an int
question (eg max no of tagged queue commands), it gives you the help.
This means that make oldconfig goes into an infinite loop.
