This was a fresh install of 7 from a couple of months ago when it was
-current. I have been updating at least weekly since then. I csup'd and
did the buildworld/kernel thing this past Friday. At that time I change
from the generic kernel to a generic using -ULE.

When updating the ports over the weekend using "portmaster -a -u" the
system would freeze at "Creating a backup package for old version
pkg-glob". Where pkg-glob is whatever was being updated at the time of
course. 

The keyboard would not respond and I was unable to ssh into it from
other computers on my network. It would not even respond to a ping
request. The only recovery is a power off reboot.

I was able to update my ports by doing a make deinstall, make clean,
make install clean from the ports directory. This morning I tried to
update python25 and had the same results.

I reverted back to the generic kernel and had the same results. I have
tried it as root, using sudo from my user login and also from su. All
fail the same way.

I have no trouble with portmaster from my 6.2-Stable computer.
