Ugh. YES, that seems to be the culprit. I thought I had gotten
recently gotten rid of /usr/obj/usr/ports on all my systems, but
I must have done something to bring them back. I should have
noticed that with the last DEBUG statement I had added.
I'll note that with the update I posted earlier, at least
`make index' will not be confused by that directory existing.
If that directory is going to be such a headache, perhaps
something in the ports Makefile should check if that directory
exists, and just error-out if it does.
