Really?  It shouldn't do that (there is no code to do it), and I wonder how
it happened...

Anyway, to build big sets of packages, you may want to use the 'auto' target,
instead of 'build'.  When you have set it up, start a build with:

pkg_comp auto

and, if you cancel it with ^C, you can resume it later with

pkg_comp auto resume
