Commit c8b89c11a1181e900acb638cfde7a55e92553175 removes the initialization
of $_localbase in /usr/sbin/periodic.
This causes $dirlist to be set to:
" /etc/periodic /etc/periodic"
and that causes all scripts in /etc/periodic to be executed twice per security run (the security run emails show everything happening twice). $dirlist should be:
" /etc/periodic /usr/local/etc/periodic"
Need to partially revert that commit to re-add the initialization of $_localbase.

former reads the latter just a few lines below where it previously used
to initialize _localbase. Did you forget to run etcupdate?
