Most recently, it bit me while getting one of the dependencies to nfs-progs built so my new system would be able to get to my portage tree share on its own after the reboot. This bug (closed as RESOLVED - INVALID, since it's not actually a bug with Gentoo in the eyes of the Devs): http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271942 details it further and gives a couple options on fixing it, should you run into it at all. -- Poison [BLX] Joshua M.
