freebsd stable - May 2006 - portsdb

hey guys, i've been having this trouble on and off for
quite awhile, sometimes while running 'portsdb -Uu'
(after a cvsup) the box just freezes, along with the
power? i'm running 5.3-RELEASE.

see: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.1R/todo.html
Is it the final status of things when went into 6.1R?

I am particulary interested in status of the following 
problems:


devfs locking problem
unmount pending error
swap_pager warnings
pty leak
"calcru: runtime went backwards" problem for threaded program
update sysinstall disk labeling

Regards,
Artem

ok, i did:

cd /usr/ports
rm INDEX*
make fetchindex

amongst other things, and every time, running 'portsdb -Uu'
cripples the machine. i'm not too keen to see where exactly
it dies since it'll result in another hard shutdown.

but, if i just run portversion, it creates the INDEX-5.db,
so i'm not sure why i'm running 'portsdb -Uu' in the first
place?
