 my grand total time invested in this issue is in days already.

 this issue is not new. it has been widely reported by many people.
 although it causes no kernel panic at the moment ("only" full networking
 loss until reboot), the going advice is "use master" and/or with some
 undocumented option overrides.

 yes, it's not directly macports' fault per se, but it triggers it, and it
 makes running macports akin to playing russian roulette.  i know macports
 is a volunteer effort, but i find it strange not to release a minor patch
 version with a temporary fix while the dust settles around the other
 software involved: macos, little snitch, etc.   the others would be hardly
 hugely affected, 200+ mirrors for any package makes little sense to me,
 just to speed test them would be slower than grabbing a random mirror.

 running master is not officially recommended by the project, otherwise
 what would be the point of releases.  can we have a fix please even if
 only temporary?
