>Description:
pkg "quanta-docs", as downloaded in pkgsrc dated 2002/01/12, has in
its Makefile this line:
   DEPENDS+=       quanta>=1.9.9.2:../../www/quanta-docs
note the incorrect and self-referential directory (after ":").
"make clean-depends-list" seems to result in a nasty infinite loop
which hangs the machine (when run as root) with /proc table full.
>How-To-Repeat:
I recommend not repeating it, but if you insist:
  cd /usr/pkgsrc/www/quanta-docs
  make clean-depends-list
>Fix:
The DEPENDS line above should probably be:
   DEPENDS+=       quanta>=1.9.9.2:../../www/quanta
