I have exactly the same thing, just my machine can cope with it a bit better as I have 512M physical and 1gig swap. It's currently running a portupgrade -rai and doing all the recent gnome commits. The first 6 or 7 upgrades of installed ports went without a hitch but since then at the points where it says "Building ...." and "Registering installation for ...." I get this: OK? [yes] ---> Build of x11/gnomesession started at: Fri, 04 Apr 2003 11:04:52 +0100 ---> Building '/usr/ports/x11/gnomesession' make: Max recursion level (500) exceeded.: Resource temporarily unavailable and the physical ram in use just goes up and up and up until it runs out and then the swap space does the same. After a few minutes (luckily before it runs out) it stops. All the ram is free'd and the portupgrade carries on. During this time looking at a "top" it appears it's due to around ten "sort" processes doing something or other at the time. This looks more like a portupgrade issue rather than a -CURRENT issue however. Matt.
