stuck in loop with restore_ports.tcl migrating to macOS Sierra (10.12.1)

[Murray Eisenberg]

Removed those 3 ports from myports.txt, ran the script again. Now another infinite loop:

[~:]$ sudo ./restore_ports.tcl myports.txt
Error: we appear to be stuck, exiting...
infinite loop
    while executing
"sort_ports $portList"
    invoked from within
"set operationList [sort_ports $portList]"
    (file "./restore_ports.tcl" line 285)
