  What does it mean?  It shows up on the screen at the start of
"emerge", but it's not in the log files.  Is it possibly a message from
the server that emerge is grabbing the tarball from?

Dunno. But look in  the ebuild for the source/download/path
and verify it manually. Often upstreams adjust the path to their downloads.

It appears to be a BSD function used by some FTP servers. As long as the
download succeeds, I would ignore it.
