The patch I sent you was not supposed to fix anything, just help
diagnose a problem. You said earlier, that sometimes an install never
completes -- or am I mistaken?
The diagnostics I inserted will help understand a never completing
install. This patch will not speed anything up. Can you try installing a
port, that failed to install before?
