Actually, I had to log in as root a few times, to build some of the ports. 
Well, maybe not _HAD_ to, but i didn't really know how to otherwise allow 
user to use more RAM just for the build. (the culprits were java and, 
surprisingly, centericq-4.20). And yes, the build bailed out when done with 
sudo too.
