Yes, it's partly caused by pkgdb and/or how Ruby / pkgdb handles the
DB I think...
1. What type of BDB structure do you use [most likely btree(1) --
says this during the pkgdb rebuild..]?
2. What version of BDB are you using (1.85, 2.x or 4.x) [(cd
/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portinstall && make config) will give you that info]?
3. uname -a says?
