Heh, well, that's exactly what I thought about, 5 minutes after sending
that email! Yes, I'm running /usr and the WRKDIRPREFIX on ZFS.
I haven't compared, if it is responsible for shuffling around the order
in which directories are written (or read).
Anyway, this means that almost all rdoc ports will break their pkg-plist
when you compile/create them on an ZFS system. I will test with UFS
today and also run some other rdoc-using ports on my ZFS to see if this
is general problem or only specific to my port.
