I am getting closer to a better understanding of whats causing 
the problem.

Went to /usr/ports/print and did:
# rm -rf pips*

To remove all the print/pips* related ports.

Now "make index" runs clean on my 4.8-STABLE system cvsup'd 
last night.

The "portsdb -Uu" still has problems, and am trying to isolate 
the misbehaving ports for that also.

Will report more data points when known.
