Aha!  I don't know how many times I've looked at that code and thought "I
don't understand, why isn't it returning from this function?"  Please feel
free to commit this fix.

For the benefit of the list: It looks like there was a short period this
morning when several portsnap mirrors were out of sync due to the mirroring
cron jobs running into a network outage somewhere around portsnap-master.
Everything should be back to normal now.
