My guess is that when updating ports some Java application is also being installed which requires build from source and as a result installs ant. It'd be good to check the installed applications for a Java one. > earth% pkg_info -r diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_8 > Information for diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_8: >=20 > Depends on: > Dependency: xtrans-1.0.4 > Dependency: xproto-7.0.10_1 > Dependency: xextproto-7.0.2 > Dependency: javavmwrapper-2.3 >=20 > earth% cat /var/db/pkg/diablo-jdk-1.5.0.07.01_8/+REQUIRED_BY > apache-ant-1.7.0_1 > earth%=20 Obvious. > At least I do not yet see java_vm (which seems to have been the > culprit in cases where I was able to get back into the system) yet > reappearing. >=20 > When I encountered difficulty this morning, I had left both firefox > and an ports upgrade running.

No clue here. But I guess it's not about java_vm that your system goes blank since I'm working/developing with both diablo-jdk-1.5.0_06 and jdk-1.6.0_01 on an average machine running 6.2-p7. I'm not sure but I paste my javavm_wrapper configuration.
