OK, so while no programs have whined or complained, I get the feeling that 
something on my system is running portsnap without my knowledge. When I had set 
the schg flag on INDEX-9, an INDEX-9.bz2 file came up. I set the schg flag on 
that as well, and now I notice there are a bunch of files called 
.fetch.??????.INDEX-9.bz2 (where ?????? is a random string), as well as a file 
called .portsnap.INDEX. As far as I know, I don't have anything configured to 
run portsnap, but is there something that defaults to running portsnap 
occasionally? I couldn't find anything that would do that.

Thanks,
