Portmaster error

I'm running a 10.3-RELEASE instance. I ran portmaster -ad in screen 
yesterday to get all the ports up to date. Today I ran it again, to make 
sure everything was updated.

When I did, I got this error:

 portmaster -ad
===>>> Gathering distinfo list for installed ports

===>>> Starting check of installed ports for available updates
make: "/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk" line 1462: Cannot open 
/usr/ports/Mk/Uses/execinfo.mk
make: Fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
===>>> All ports are up to date

Sure enough, execinfo.mk is missing.

I ran portsnap fetch and update to see if that would fix it. It did not.

I didn't find anything about this on the web or in /usr/ports/UDPATING. Is 
this something new? Is there something I can do to fix it other than wait?
