Sorry I failed to mention a world upgrade at this point involved 1
file, but I take your point.... still mine also holds.  

Why keep banging on procmail when by looking up the newest ebuild
online I can see it is not any different... hence the bug will
remain. 

I still say its handy to be able to look at the latest portage pkgs
when you feel the urge.   Nicer and less labor intensive than
upgrading anyghing really.
