Except it reboot later when rebuilding the KDE stuff with portinstall 
NOT the Gnome script.  And I'm getting occasional segmentation faults on 
Thunderbird and intermittent compiler errors like this one while 
portinstalling kdepim:
then mv -f ".deps/eudora_xxport.Tpo" ".deps/eudora_xxport.Plo"; else rm 
-f ".deps/eudora_xxport.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
eudora_xxport.cpp: In member function `virtual KABC::AddresseeList 
EudoraXXPort::importContacts(const QString&) const':
eudora_xxport.cpp:121: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html>; for instructions.

Something seems wrong.  I don't think a software error should cause a 
system reboot without any log messages anywhere.

Thanks,
Micah
