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.
