Save this as a last resort. When I run into something weird like this,
I usually do a emerge -e world. Some may call it over kill but I can't
count the number of times that doing that has fixed a issue. Issues
includes weird crashes, processes hogging up the CPU, excessive use of
memory etc etc etc. The best I can figure, something gets out of sync
and emerge -e world fixes it.
FYI. When I update, I run emerge -uvaDN world and have backtrack set to
30. Even with that, sometimes a emerge -e world fixes what nothing else
does. I have been known to increase backtrack with no change.
As mentioned, save that as a last resort. It could be that someone else
has ran into this same issue and has found a fix. ;-)
