OK, this is too funny. I'm sitting here in the dark browsing around on
my home machine while I'm doing an eix-sync. I have my legs crossed,
sitting in my chair that swivels, and guess what...my big toe is at
__exactly__ the height of the main power button on my APC UPS, and
darn if I don't hit it and power is gone!
The machine booted and came back up with no obvious problems but when
I tried to continue with the eix-sync I get some pretty messed up
messages, ala:

I tried removing the timestamp file to get it to sync again but that
didn't fix it.
How does a big-toe guy regenerate the database emerge --sync normally
keeps for my machine?
Too funny! (Hey - at least I provided a laugh I hope!) :-)))

I think this will help:
emerge-webrsync
That should download the complete tree. It will be a pretty good size
file tho just in case you have dial-up or some other slow connection.

P. S. Careful with the toe next time. lol
