Hi,

running 1.5.2/i386, pkgsrc tree fetched an hour ago.

'make fetch-list' in chat/xchat hangs. I stopped it after 30 minutes.

'make -dm fetch-list' tells me: 

  Examining fetch-list...non-existent...non-existent and no sources
  ...out-of-date.

and then goes to sleep.


'make -dc fetch-list' prints some debugging lines (about 120) and then goes
to sleep.

'top' shows a steady stream of coming and going processes (make, sh, tr,
sort, ...). This looks very much like an endless loop.

Can anybody repeat this or is it just me?

ciao
     Klaus

PS: looks like this also happens with other packages (misc/gnome-pim,
    games/gnome-chess).
