Well, not much is running, and I have recently built a new kernel and
world in less time than it takes to get this one port upgraded. I
think there is something else amiss. Should this really be soaking up
100Mb of RAM?

PID      USERNAME       THR PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE    TIME   WCPU COMMAND
32272   root                      1   -20    0         101M   70340K
swread   3:04  0.93%   cc1


I have filed a bug against gcc, per instructions. There seems to be an
issue somewhere in py-gtk that is exacerbated by the low resources on
this system.

Thanks.
