I've been having problems running portsdb and portupgrade remotely for a
couple of months now. When I use SSH to log in and run portsdb I get a hell
of a lot of error messages (mostly saying "" doesn't exist and the
dependency list is incomplete) and after a couple of hours the server
reboots. Today I caught it while the screen was still displaying the error
message, "Trap 12 page fault while in kernel mode". Today I was running the
file output by 'portversion -c > needs.update'. The machine had been
chugging away merrily for a couple of hours downloading and compiling when
the same thing happened.

I guess from the term "page fault" there has been a glitch in virtual
memory. Is this a symptom that my hard drive might be developing problems?
Oddly enough, I've run similar commands from the console and they've
completed without a reboot.
