Only games-mud/crystal is displayed, x11-themes/crystal should be there too.

This patch will allow portage to raise an exception which previously would have been caught as "Internal portage error, terminating". I've never hit such an error and I think it's safe to allow the traceback here, since it will simplify bug submission.
