I have been following the comments. I thought that is was strange that it only 
happended for me on 5.3-beta. I have a very different mix of ports on 5.x and 
your environment affects the "make index". My cvsup mirror updates at 30 
minutes after the hour  on the odd numbered hours and so what I was using was 
the same mirror state on 4.x and 5.x.

FWIW, a "make fetchindex" on 5.x also died. Something has happened that is 
beyond Kris' test  script.
