I just did a ports all and used "make index" to build INDEX. I didn't 
see any messages. I find portsdb -U genereates many more messages than 
make does. When "make index" is broken, a nag message is sent to -ports 
by a script using Kris as a source.

What I see is

Generating INDEX - please wait.. Done.
[Updating the portsdb <format:bdb1_btree> in /usr/ports ... - 9044 port 
entries found 
.........1000.........2000.........3000.........4000.........5000.........6000.........7000.........8000.........9000 
..... done]

You only lost 1 port generating your INDEX file. I don't think I would 
worry. This occurs as ports are doctored up.
