Me and zmedico actually already changed that to read something like 'if not in ["FreeBSD", "Linux"]:', last night zmedico also committed something not to perform the pty_eof check on FreeBSD, as it seems to work for Gentoo/FreeBSD people. You can try to resolve the problem by removing the "FreeBSD" from the list in $EPREFIX/var/lib/portage/pym/portage/__init__.py:3882, same place haubi's patch added AIX in the older Portage -- Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level
