I tried to emerge gtorrent. It depends on dev-python/PyQT. I got the following strange output following the usual emerge error message the first time only. Subsequent tries (see below) did not include this message of one word per line. cc1plus : Broken pipe : error writing to - bash-2.05b# Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge qtorrent 2. 3.

My apologies, I posted the above in the wrong bug.
Emerge now works properly. Whatever was causing the problem has been fixed.
