>Description:
	If pkg_add of a binary distribution encounters a problem, i.e. user 
	attempts to cntrl-c the process after a file system fills up, it 
	deletes the contents of /usr during it's 'cleanup'.

>How-To-Repeat:
	pkg_add args
	cntrl-c during install
	
	This has only happened once, and I have not attempted to duplicate it 
	for obvious reasons. Jason Thorpe told me that it was a known, 
	but not logged, bug.
>Fix:
	none known.
