Something broke in quoting again.  Stinking software I guess. 

This is along the lines of what I was thinking.  I just don't see how it
could have happened tho.  I have a UPS on my rig and I'd never shutdown
if there was a emerge process running.  Then again, maybe something else
broke and stopped the emerge process somehow. 

I also need to fix google too.  It didn't find anything when I searched
which also made me curious about what the heck this is. 

Going to go see if I can track this turkey down. 

Thanks much.  At least your google search worked.  lol
