Hello Shoan,

I guess I fixed this bug (but it haven't been released yet).
I'd like to confirm the fix can fix in several cases.
So, can you try the patch?

It's just one line.

Problem code still present at 16:50 GMT with portage-2.0.50-r1 from gentoo.mirrors.pair.com; portage-2.0.50-r1 wasn't even on ftp.gentoo.skynet.be which I usually use.
