 I was installing gimp with port install gimp.  It was going through
 dependencies, so I stepped away from the machine.  When I came back, the
 machine was frozen, and I had to unplug it to get it going again.  Later
 I got the message below (truncated) from my ISP, Today at 10:05am.  The
 last date I can see any the file in /opt/local is 1 Sep 13:15.  When I
 booted up, it said Norton Antivirus auto-protect was turned off.  Hmm.
 After installing Norton Firewall today, I am going through logs and file
 system stuff to try to figure out what happened.
