No, this is actually a bug with pkg_add and really really large packages like xemacs. If you hold off on trying to install the xemacs package for now and simply get ahold of some 2.1-stable sources (see http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/stable.html) for, at the minimum, /usr/src/usr.sbin/pkg_install it will fix these problems. Sorry, I'd have liked to have had this fix be in 2.1.7 but it would have meant re-rolling and replacing the entire bindist for the existing distribution. :-( Jordan
