 The perl files weren't cached, were they? Anyway, I was curious, on BS
 11.2.3. Although the release notes didn't seem to mention anything
 related, I reverted the changes to `fetch_common.tcl` and downgraded to
 the latest release of MacPorts (2.6.4). However, a `port fetch -d p5.26
 -http-message` brought the network down and eventually panicked the kernel
 as well.

 Reinstalling MacPorts master (2.6.99), changing `max_hosts_to_ping` back
 to 10, and the `port fetch` command worked again, without kernel panics
 etc. *shrug*
