Description Chris Snyder 2002-06-20 17:33:50 UTC

I tried running emerge -f kde on one console, and then emerge kde on another, so
that I could utilize both my net connection and CPU resources at the same time,
and finish the build quicker.  This seems to cause problems.  See my forum post
that I have linked to.

Yes... This is a bad idea.

I'm rewriting my threading code for portage to handle what you're trying to do. 
I HIGHLY recommend against it as you can have two programs writing to the same 
files at the same time. Bad news.

Watch bug 1661 for better ways to do this.
