After reviewing this thread and with the speed with which head
can change, I'll suggest the following for UPDATING
Index: UPDATING

Avoid using make -j when upgrading. While generally safe, there are
sometimes problems using -j to upgrade. If your upgrade fails with
- -j, please try again wtihout -j. From time to time in the past there
+ -j, please try again without -j. From time to time in the past there
have been problems using -j with buildworld and/or installworld. This
is especially true when upgrading between "distant" versions (eg one
that cross a major release boundary or several minor releases, or when
several months have passed on the -current branch).
