No, it doesn't, on my system. Did you really check the files: https://lists.gt.net/engine?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=51651;list=gentoo https://lists.gt.net/engine?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=51652;list=gentoo (these should download as eix-installed-after_1.gz former and eix-installed-after_2.gz the latter)? And they have these SHA256: fff6f3f0f07c863fee6962379f063f742578569fd13fcee3df9161b4a6d99aa7 eix-installed-after_1.tar.gz b88cd07885fbdc2235c9c64be7d02aa9ace7661cc2fce07909355e369366b408 eix-installed-after_2.tar.gz If you did check those files, and there are the strings you say, at what byte, the start, and the end...
