    Hello all,

    This problem has been recurring on my laptop (5.2.1-RELEASE-p9) for the
    past few weeks and I'm scratching my head.

    Very frequently, I'll go to portinstall something, and I'll get several
    stop errors, and the build will fail.

    But if I do a "rm -rf /usr/ports", then re-cvsup my ports collection, I
    can successfully build whatever port I was trying at the time. However,
    a few days later (or whatever), I'll try to build another port, and it
    will start all over. I delete /usr/ports, cvsup again, then I'm fine.
    This has happened several times over the past few weeks and the whole
    manual cvsup'ing to refresh my entire /usr/ports every time is getting
    old. (Although I've noticed I can sometimes get away with just deleting
    the /usr/ports/... directory of the port I'm trying to build and
    cvsup'ing again.)

    I'm keeping my ports current the same way on a workstation in at work,
    and I've had no problems there, so I know it has to be something that's
    wrong on my laptop.

    Here is the output of the latest port failure (fwbuilder):

    Thank for any feedback!
