emerge crashes reproducibly due to a bug in eutils.eclass



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. #emerge --sync on 2010/02/25
       this (apparently) installed eutils.eclass,v 1.334 2010/02/26 03:15:26 abcd Exp $
       in /usr/portage/eclass/

2. #emerge busybox,portage-utils,cdcd ...


Actual Results:  
typical output (for emerging busybox):

>>> Emerging (1 of 1) sys-apps/busybox-1.15.3
 * busybox-1.15.3.tar.bz2 RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...                [ ok ]

Sync again. This should be fixed. Revision 1.336 is in the tree.
