pkg_info vs ssl26.tgz in snapshots/packages/i386

[kwesterback@home.com]

In keeping up with the 2.6 snapshot packages being added to the
ftp sites I have stumbled across an odd behaviour.

I ftp'd the entire contents of the snapshot/packages/i386 to
a shiny new directory this afternoon.

If I cd to this directory and type 'pkg_info' (which from the source
the absence of arguments should be the same as 'pkg_info -Ia') I get
a lot of messages:

With a little experimentation I deduced that if ssl26.tgz is in the 
directory the problem occurs. If I delete ssl26.tgz then the problem
does not occur. Looking at the messages I should have deduced this
sooner as ssl26.tgz is the first file listed. 

If I enter 'pkg_info ssl26.tgz' (with the file present!) then there is
no problem and the problem does not occur.

Any clue as to the problem? I am looking at the pkg_info source but
the difficulty (if it is one) hasn't leaped out at me yet.

And one other minor nit in the package directory - there seems to be
both zsh-3.0.6 and zsh-3.1.6 packages, while an examination of my
(post-freeze updated) ports tree shows only a 3.0.6 version. They seem
to be different sizes.

This is all occuring on a fresh install of the Oct 22 i386 snapshot
(which installed flawlessly by the way, both an (I) and a (U) on
different i386's).
