$ portupgrade -v
portupgrade rev.1049 (2004-12-26)

>Description:
	Portupgrade does not always detect a failure of a pre-build command
and sometimes will go ahead and build a port anyways.  I had about 6
packages out of 675 build even though the pre-build command failed.

>How-To-Repeat:
	The following script will eventually build the port www/libwww even
though the pre-build failed, but it may fail 10 or 20 times before that will
happen.  This can be done with any port, not just www/libwww.

while true; do
	sudo portupgrade -B 'false' -fw www/libwww
done
