Don't guess. :)  The bug is in kBuild. Portmaster makes heavy use of
environment variables, some of which can grow quite large. Something
in kBuild overflows at some point in the build process due to the
large environment space. IIRC "someone" volunteered to report this to
the kBuild folks, but I never heard back from them about it.
