Has anyone ever seen the following strange behaviour? While updating the system with emerge, after each installation of a package, before it starts emerging the next one, it pauses for a minute or two, then displays "alarm signal" (without the quotes) on a new line, and continues to emerging the next package. Here is an example:
>>> Emerging (2 of 9) perl-core/IPC-Cmd-0.760.0 * IPC-Cmd-0.76.tar.gz RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ...
