Archive mode broken after the latest updates

[James Berry]

Hi Guido,

Nice sleuthing. I came to the same conclusion last night after  
following up a similar report from another user.

I've written to Paul Guyot about the issue, who has the honor of  
having written the changeset in question, but the blessing to not  
have written the ugly hack that stumbled on it.

Hopefully we'll get this cleaned up soon. In the mean time, you can  
turn off archive mode in your ports.conf file.
