OOOPS - portupgrade/Swapfile/???

Hey guys,

Just did a CVSup, and did a portupgrade -rRa.

I watched it install libxml update and fontconfig and apache2. I then left it 
to its things and went to get a coffee....

On return, I got the login screen for KDE???

So I logged in and tried to run portupgrade -rRa again just to confirm 
everything was done and it returned me to the login screen. I rebooted into 
console and ran the same command. I then get repeated application kills due 
to swap file full...Never had that before.

Watching with swapinfo, my 500Mb (256 Mb Ram) swapfile just fills up...on 
stopping portupgrade, swap file is emptied...

Any ideas what is going on?

Thanks,
Anthony
