	Hello, everyone, I have a fairly strange error, that has popped 
up on both machines where I have used portupgrade (both 4.8-RELEASE 
boxes).  Here is an example output:

please:~> pkg_info |head
BitTorrent-3.2.1b   "Peer to Peer file sharing/mirroring."Mesa-3.4.2_2        
A graphics library similar to SGI's OpenGL
ORBit-0.5.17        High-performance CORBA ORB with support for the C language
XFree86-4.3.0,1     X11/XFree86 core distribution (complete, using mini/meta-po

	Note how Mesa's entry begins immediately after the last 
character of BitTorrent's.  The behavior seems to be that if a package 
has been installed/upgraded with portupgrade, it eliminates the terminal 
newline from the pkg_info listing.  Running pkg_info with a particular 
package as an argument works fine.  pkgdb reports that the database is 
uncorrupted and up-to-date.  The only effect seems to be this fairly 
annoying display bug, but nothing that is impairing the functionality of 
the system in a serious way.

	Thank you in advance for any help/insights/hints.  Have a good 
day.
