OOOPS - portupgrade/Swapfile/???

[CARTER Anthony]

Did portupgrade get updated then?

I am not using gnome...

The only thing I can think of is that an update has created a loop within 
itself, thereby launching subsequent sorts...I get 10 or so sorts, about 
20-30 make's, kill them they come back...
