Hi all,

Can anyone tell me why /var/tmp/INDEX-7.db is getting updated _every_ single
time a run ports_glob(1) ? E.G.

    #ports_glob "*wifi*"
    [Updating the portsdb <format:bdb_btree> in /var/tmp ... - 16938 port entries found
    .........1000.........2000.........3000.........4000.........5000.........6000.....
    ....7000.........8000.........9000.........10000.........11000.........12000.......
    ..13000.........14000.........15000.........16000.........  ..... done]

Surely this isn't intended behaviour.
