I am trying to do an "emerge system" and Python 2.3.4 hangs on checking getaddrinfo bug... I won't do anything. Ctrl-C and retry same problem.

Actual Results: Hangs on python-3.2.4 getaddrinfo bug... line Expected Results: emerge the system :) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Portage 2.0.50-r11 (default-x86-2004.2, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.4.20041006-r0, 2.4.26-gentoo-r6) =============================================================== == System uname: 2.4.26-gentoo-r6 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -mcpu=pentium4 -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fstack-protector" CHOST="i386-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/ qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -mcpu=pentium4 -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -fstack-protector -finline-functions" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.osuosl.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/ gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X aalib acpi aim apache2 apm arts audiofile avi bcmath berkdb bitmap-fonts bzlib cdb cdr crypt cscope cty pe cups curl curlwrappers dbm dif directfb divx4linux doc dvd dvdr encode ethereal f77 fbcon foomaticdb ftp gd bm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 iconv imagemagick imap imlib jabber java jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad maildir mikmod m ng motif mpeg mysql mysqli ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl php png python qt quicktime r eadline samba sdl slang slp spell sse ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tidy tiff truetype unicode usb video x86 xine xml xml2 xmms xosd xpm xprint xv xvid zlib"
