Odd.  Trying to rebuild world, csup failed with "Receiver: Connection 
reset by peer."  cvsup didn't do any better.  I didn't have this problem 
with the VM (where I'm actually going to build everything, then copy it 
over).  Could a buggy network driver cause this problem?  It's a Via 
gigabit ethernet (vge) device.
