3. After one port erred on the build, I scrolled back to select the list of
ports still to be built (a portmaster(8) feature) and try to paste it into
the same window or a different one. I get a totally different region. Since
the list spanned several lines due to line wrap, I got a bunch of other
lines, no doubt from some other part of the buffer. I have a hunch that
this is tied to the fact that a great many lines of output get wrapped into
multiple lines on the display and the arithmetic of what is selected goes
awry. (Just a guess, though.)

Yes. I submitted a patch to have portmaster save the output also to a file in /tmp because of this. It's not in the latest port, I think. I'd attach it, but it's on a machine that is under some books and a failed hard drive awaiting shipment.
