Description Michiel de Bruijne 2002-08-30 16:50:05 UTC

After doing an "emerge -s spell" Portage crashed. Altough it's likely caused by 
syntax error or corruption in the ebuild I think that Portage should just skip 
the incorrect ebuild instead of crashing.

OK, should be fixed in 2.0.33. Thanks! :)
