	My work-around did the job, but to be sure after I
	pkg_delete'd -2.1.23, I did make deinstall/reinstall.
	My cvsup script runs portsdb -Uu nightly ... so unclear 
	where the bug is.  

	You may be right re the mirror sites; this is what happens
	when I try to get the most recent gcc fixes:

	===>  Cleaning for gcc-3.3.3_20040126
	Making GCC 3.3.3 for FreeBSD 4.7 elf    target
	i386-portbld-freebsd4.7
	>> gcc-core-3.3-20040126.tar.bz2 doesn't seem to exist in
	/usr/ports/distfiles/.
	>> Attempting to fetch from
	http://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/gcc/snapshots/3.3-20040126/.
	fetch: invalid size ( 9784532)

	It's a headscratch.  

	bonne journée!
