This morning, my laptop & build machine (daily) source-based updates
for stable/11 were uneventful, but the (weekly) update to my desktop
at work died (temporarily) during an attempt to build a kernel
module (because I have

        PORTS_MODULES=x11/nvidia-driver

in etcsrc.conf):

...

....

Running "ps" showed that a few processes (including dialog4ports)
had received SIGSTOP; sending them a SIGCONT wasn't helpful (as in
"didn't seem to cause the processes to resume execution").

I finally did circumvent the issue by (separately) running "portmaster
x11/nvidia-driver", which brought up the dialog4ports menu Just Fine,
then built & installed the port.

After having done that, build kernel (including updating the
x11/nvidia-driver module again), install kernel, install world (as
well as mergemaster &c.) all worked.

In case it's relevant, I ran the build within script(1), running
in a tmux(1) session.

Peace,
david
