13 Did you read the bug report on crbug? It is reported for 479 and marked
14 as *fixed* in the trunk as of Aug 9th. I didnt read the release note of it

16 490 was released on 13th and is in portage since then. So..you can
17 either unmask it and give it a try or wait for the next release and keep an
18 eye on the release notes.
