I'm experiencing something odd from a few new servers I've been setting up today. I'll do something at the console that takes some amount of time and produces lots of output such as fetching the ports tree, svn updating /usr/src/, or building world, and the console will hang. The console ceases to produce any additional output until a key is pressed. It doesn't seem to be the case that program execution is affected, the source tree continues to checkout, for example, but the console is 'frozen' and produces no additional output. Has anyone run into this before? Any thoughts as to what's going wrong or how to fix this? I'm running 8.2 and am in the process of updating to 8.3 (buildworld is running at the moment on several of them at the moment, with these hiccups every few minutes.. it's very odd).
