OK, cool!  Gives me an excuse to not worry about it for a bit longer.  <g>
(I had found pretty much exactly what you mentioned, that it wasn't much
faster anyway, the reason I hadn't squawked when it failed and I had to
turn it off.)

That's good, since I read I have new KDE to worry about next week, and
I've a couple things to trace b4 then (unsermake doesn't seem to be
engaging, here, for some reason, and it'd be real nice if I could figure
out how to get the old configcache patch working (locally, anyway) again
with the split sandbox, since the portage upgrade with that integrated
doesn't seem to be on the immediate horizon.)
