 On a fresh MacPorts 1.9.0 beta 1 installation, installed from the disk
 image, on Mac OS X 10.6.3 with Xcode 3.2.2, with no ports installed, I
 tried to install wine-devel +universal. This has lots of dependencies, 47
 of which installed fine before xorg-libXcursor failed during installation
 saying

 {{{

 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
 }}}

 Simply repeating the `port install` command allowed the installation to
 proceed, which says to me that MacPorts is holding some files open even
 after it's done with a port.
