-Dsnap does nothing for most of the year. The only thing it's useful for is
pointing to the snapshots directory whdn you're running a kernel with no
-beta/-current suffix (i.e. a release, or snapshot in the short period in
the run-up to release).

This shows that it is indeed looking at a snapshot directory not release.

This could either be:

- a bug in some port

- a package source that does not have a consistent set of files from one
build (can happen when a mirror is updating)

First thing to do if this happens is check file dates in the mirror's
directory listing and see if they're consistent (no big jump between the
a* and z* files).
