It's been done to death on freebsd-ports@... freebsd-questions@..., freebsd-current@..., and probably a few other mailing lists as well. The problem is a bug in the underlying BDB v1 btree implementation. Jun Kuriyama posted a couple of patched for people to try out onto freebsd-current@... -- this is the most recent one, which might even work: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2004-September/037222= .html Porting that to 4-STABLE is left as an exercise. Should be fairly easy, as the code in question hasn't been modified for 5.x (as far as I know). Otherwise, there's a nice simple low impact workaround: # setenv PORTS_DBDRIVER bdb1_hash There are some other workarounds and some variations on this workaround but you can find those for yourself by searching the various FreeBSD mailing list archives Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK --fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBRcRHiD657aJF7eIRAr1JAJ9TX6+2t2gqQMN/Mj0cgFk/xwZLTwCePB2H +FAdp6xkeo9k8cD9yKmKnZU= =Dwg0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7--
