portsdb -U causes reboot with custom kernel, but not GENERIC

I've been having a heck of time trying to get portsdb to work under 4.x.
I've spent a lot of time going through the list archives, and the list
archive says a fix was applied to 4-stable, but I'm still having
problems with portsdb..
Using 4.11-RC2, or 4.11-STABLE portsdb -U works, ONLY if I use the
GENERIC kernel. If I build the world & kernel and install (doing the
appropriate mergemaster steps in single user) with my kernel
configurarion, it reboots in the middle. Unfortunately, I'm not exactly
a guru here, and neither the script command nor redirect has captured
the output just before it reboots. I presume there is another way that I
just don't know about. Also, it doesn't consistently reboot.at the same
time and every time I decided to sit down in front of it and watch it,
it decides to take a long time to fail. This is on a P233/mmx, so it
takes a while to run the whole process. If I change the PORTS_DBDRIVER
and PKG_DBDRIVER to bdb1_hash in pkgtools.conf, I get the same results.
I admit I haven't tried the solution of changing the ruby port, because
I'm unsure of how to handle the pkgdb -F query to change the dependency
for just portupgrade or for all ports. I'm unsure of the overall
implications of selecting either option, or if I even need to change the
dependency. There was a message warning to remove ruby18 if one
installed the other ruby port, but it was a rather cryptic warning.
I can't fathom why it should work with GENERIC but not my
configuration, especially since portsdb is the only program that causes
the reboot. Here is my configuration file: (I also tried building
without apm as a shot in the dark with the same results)

I'm posting this to -ports because this is the only program that causes
the spontaneous reboot, and it didn't occur before the problems with
ruby/portupgrade. I'm totally at a loss, and I don't seem to even know
enough to know how to capture the output before it reboots, or stop it
from rebooting so I can at least see the output.
One last question, does make fetchindex do the same thing as portsdb -U?
or am I completely confused?
