portsnap Generating a "Bad file descriptor" Error Message

[Pierre-Luc Drouin]

Hi,

so I have been having problems using portsnap lately. I always get a "Bad
file descriptor" message when trying using it on one of my i386 machine:

I tried fsck -y the /var, /tmp and /usr partitions and everything seems
fine. What could the problem be?

Thanks!
