Occurs less frequently?  That's not what I'm looking for.  Is there a 
*fix* for the root cause?

I'm using portsindexsb as a work around, but it still doesn't address or 
solve the problem which makes portsdb -Uu fail.  I've tried removing and 
re-extracting the ports tree and doing whatever else was suggested in 
the -ports@ mailing list(s) - to no avail.
