Hi!

OK, this is an old PIII 1 GHZ , 500 MB RAM  running
6.0-STABLE FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE #0: Sun Jan 15 05:56:00 CET 2006

When I start a

   # portupgrade -a

up to 671 MB swap are used and I see this message:

   make: Max recursion level (500) exceeded.: Resource temporarily
   unavailable

and of course everything becomes really slow. Has anybody else 
seen this?

Regards,

Uli.
