I have been using portupgrade fine forever up until today. I have a laptop running 4.6-PRE from yesterday with the latest portupgrade. Today I cvsup'd my ports and went to do a portupgrade of gettext, as soon as I did that, portupgrade hung at ---> Upgrading 'gettext-0.11.1_2' to 'gettext-0.11.1_3' (devel/gettext) ---> Building '/usr/ports/devel/gettext' After a while, I received a "resource unavailable: fork()" message, and my load average was over 700 (I've never seen a load average that high). This happens for anything I try to portupgrade. What I did to try and fix this is reinstall portupgrade, start with a fresh pkgtools.conf, and reinitialized my pkgdb.db. Nothing worked. I can build new ports just fine using the old make install. I ran portupgrade with -v, but it wasn't very insightful. As far as I know, nothing changed between yesterday and today that would cause this. I checked CVS for the recent ports infrastructure changes, but I don't think that's causing the problem. I'm simply running portupgrade gettext, but all ports fail in the same manner. Any ideas? Thanks.
