Strange, I have NO_RECURSIVE_CONFIG=yes (-G) in my /etc/portmaster.rc and  
I can't reproduce it.

% cat /etc/portmaster.rc
DONT_SCRUB_DISTFILES=yes
NO_RECURSIVE_CONFIG=yes
NO_BACKUP=yes

I have ran 'portmaster -a' recently and it went well. I have lsof  
installed too in here. Maybe it's -G combine with one of option that made  
different result? Or maybe just -i?

      -i  interactive update mode -- ask whether to rebuild ports

Cheers,
