i've put my log up at http://www.graffiti.com/typescript rather than
mail it to the list.  and it doesn't tell me anything.  it doesn't
even get the same error.

well...that's annoying.  i guess.  when i said yes to reproducible
earlier, i meant that i could get the same error out of pkg_add when
trying to install the bing package.  but that was before i fixed my
package system.  :)

i guess i could go a step further back and reinstall 1.3.3, but that'd
kind of be a drag.  and after all that, my pkgdb is still "ascii data"
and everything else still works.
