[gentoo-user] re-appearance of `waiting for lock' bug?

[reader]

updating from an old 2006 pkg based install to latest 2008 and have
gotten pretty far along... right now emerging udev in an
  emerge -vuDN system
command.

The emerge is hung at:

  Calculating dependencies... done!
  [ebuild U ] sys-fs/udev-120 [087-r1] USE=(-selinux) 0 kB
  
  Total: 1 package (1 upgrade), Size of downloads: 0 kB
  
   Verifying ebuild Manifests...
  
   Emerging (1 of 1) sys-fs/udev-120 to /
  waiting for lock on /var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/.udev-120.portage_lockfile

And has been there a good while.

Looking at the bugs I see it mentioned but says it was fixed quite
sometime ago.

Any suggestions of how to get past this item and on with updating world?

Ctrl-C to kill the emerge and 
rm /var/tmp/portage/sys-fs/.udev-120.portage_lockfile

then try again
