portupgrade tools dying on sparc64

[Tillman Hodgson]

Howdy,

After a recent cvsup, my portupgrade tools no longer appear to work
correctly. Here's the details:

# uname -a 
FreeBSD caliban.rospa.ca 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #0: Mon Sep 29 16:58:34 CST 2003     toor at caliban.rospa.ca:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/CALIBAN sparc64

# cat /usr/local/etc/periodic/weekly/100.cvsup.ports 
#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L2 /usr/local/etc/ports-supfile
(cd /usr/ports && make index)
/usr/local/sbin/portsdb -u

# pkgdb -F
--->  Checking the package registry database

# portversion -vL=
Killed

Of course, there's a long delay between running the command and it
being automatically killed. Running portupgrade (for example,
portupgrade -f portupgrade) results in it being killed as well.

My -STABLE machines (all i386) are handling the same tools fine, even
though they've also cvsup'ed to the latest ports tree.

Is this a known problem? Are there any workarounds?
