FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT #114 r226407 amd64
>Description:
Since for two days for now, my FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT/amd64 boxes refuses updating the ports tree with the below shown error message. The message came out of the blue and I have no clue how to solve the problem.

What I did so far:

I deleted /etc/portsnap.conf and installed again from /usr/share/examples/etc/. I deleted /var/db/portsnap and all files contained therein. But the same at all.


Error message:

Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found.
Fetching snapshot tag from portsnap1.FreeBSD.org... done.
Fetching snapshot metadata... done.
look: tINDEX.new: File too large

Portsnap metadata appears bogus.
Cowardly refusing to proceed any further.

>How-To-Repeat:
Do not know. This happens on FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT/amd64 boxes.
