On top of that, I've been having problems with ruby dumping core for the last few days, as has happened previously, but if anyone else is having this problem please refer to a workaround here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2004-September/016004.html Basically replaces the ports and package databases with bdb_hash. It's not an ideal solution, but it works, and it might be helpful if you can't fetch an up-to-date INDEX and ruby is dumping core at the same time. - jt
