'emerge po4a' runs now almost 4 days with 94 % of cpu and does not finish.

I suppose it is a similar bug as Bug 269650. Also on my system the ouput of 'emerge -uvDN world' is redirected.

Confirmed on an otherwise mostly-stable amd64. Command used to reproduce: $ sudo ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~amd64" emerge -1 po4a &>~/foo.txt
I have added a patch like https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=203139 to po4a-0.41 again. Still I don't understand what and why it happens.
