No, this probably has nothing to do with emacs itself.  I remember him 
reporting the exact same problem for some other port (forgot what).

Did the first one end up in the directory "/pub/gnu/"?

This problem is on our file as ports/467 ("utils/kp wrong distfile
place after make fetch"), reported by paepcke@arcway.snafu.de (Michael
Paepcke).  I told Julian to talk to Michael, did you guys find
anything in common?

The problem is, I can't reproduce it anywhere.  And apparently nobody
else can (or we'll be flooded by complaints).  It could be an
interaction of a particular version of ncftp and a ftpd (just a
guess).  Don't know what prep's running, the kp master site is my
machine at school, running stock HP-UX 9.05.

If someone else sees something like this, please get back to us.
Julian, do you have a problem with misc/kp?  Will the problem go away
if you install ports/net/ncftp2 and set NCFTP=ncftp2 from your command 
line?

Satoshi
