No config changes in the last few days, and this just starting happening 
a few days ago.

I _think_ there's something updated in pkgsrc which is doing this, but I 
have nearly 600 packages installed and no clue as to which ones were 
recently updated.  (I rebuild and reinstall my entire package-set as a 
unit, not individually...)
