Same on FreeBSD-STABLE, I was also planning to put up such issue.

When I start:

	cd /usr/pkgsrc && bmake fetch
	
I hardly can killall/pkill it, either with -9, -11 or -15. Process proceeds
first to "audio" directory, okay, files are fetched -- if I press CTRL+C now:

	* fetch is aborted
	* bmake in "audio" proceeds to the next package
	* toplevel bmake proceeds to "benchmarks" category
	
As you can easily count, after a few more kills I can have "bmake fetch"
running in few pkgsrc directories.

This is not a critical issue, but it would be nice to have it
fixed/examined.
