The sooner you report the bugs, the sooner I can fix them. :)

The way to debug this is to add -x to the #! line at the top of 
/usr/local/sbin/portmaster so it looks like this:

#!/bin/sh -x

Then run the following:
script pm.log
portmaster -Dv <whatever you would normally do>
^D

Then send me the log.


Thanks,

Doug
