hi guys,

I'm on FreeBSD-7.2 x86 and have had to mask >portage-2.2.00.14200, specifically:

portage-2.2.00.14487
portage-2.2.00.14555

This is due to emerge/ebuild hanging for a long time, usually with the
"checking XXX.tar.gz..."  Running 'top' indicates that python2.6 is
stuck in ttywait, most likely in ebuild.sh.  This runs for about 5
minutes before a successful emerge proceeds.  This does not happen on
Linux-x86 with the same portage versions.  Since I'm no expert at
emerge/ebuild/portage, I was wondering if any one was noticing this
same behavior or could replicate it.
