Not sure what's causing this, but I'm seeing the "script" child
processes spawned by portupgrade consuming an inordinate amount of CPU,
as much as 80+%.  This does make the configure stage appear to hang
interminably much of the time.

This is under 7.0-CURRENT/amd64 with both portupgrade and
portupgrade-devel.  It's gotten so bad, in fact, that I find myself
more and more resorting to manually upgrading ports, which works fine
and does not hog CPU at all.
