Index build failed

[Matt]

Hi, regarding this index build issue,

We have been discussing a similar thing on the freebsd-current mailing list
(admitedly the wrong place). The problem we have seen is during a cvsup of
ports this morning and a portupgrade -ra we get the same kind of looping
happening as below:

--->  Build of x11/gnomesession started at: Fri, 04 Apr 2003 11:04:52 +0100
--->  Building '/usr/ports/x11/gnomesession'
make: Max recursion level (500) exceeded.: Resource temporarily unavailable

The physical ram and swap space is then used up massively whilst lots of make
and sort processes are spawned.

This occurs during the "Register installation for ...." and "Building ...."
parts of portupgrade.

I have got it on all the gnome related ports and anthony doesn't have gnome
installed but can replicate it on a portupgrade -r Mesa

Hope this helps slightly!

Regards, Matt.
