INDEX|DESCRIBE-N not provided by portsnap server

On Fri, Aug 24, 2012 at 12:02:59PM +0300 I heard the voice of
Sergey V. Dyatko, and lo! it spake thus:

This has happened to me on -CURRENT since mid-Feb.  Been meaning to
send a mail about it...  it seems like something odd in sh, failing to
see the right response to checking the existence of a file.

You can work around it by adding a "portsnap -I update", which
succeeds in building the INDEXen.
