The fact that it worked until I populated it with all the Perl
distributions and that it still works as long as I don't try to readdir
the **/release/ directories (which are the only ones that are so large)
made me suspect that.

Yes, omly it's a lot less transparent to me.

I can use lftp myself, I'll just have to creatre a bunch of aliases or
scripts, not sure yet how much I'm going to automate this. I won't use
the cygport facility, mainly because I won't put my SSH key on the build
box, but also because it doesn't easily cater to the common situation
that I need to do things to a bunch of packages and/or remove some other
stuff at the same time.

Achim.
