Maybe.
If you're using -CURRENT, you should expect this kind of problem. And
we expect that you try to solve it yourself. There are very few
people who are interested in problems you might have with a month old
-CURRENT.
The first thing you should do is update to real -CURRENT sources. Try
again. If it still happens, climb into the dump and have a good look
round.
