Note to self: beware portupgrade -R!

Well, last night I decided to try to fix a dangling problem with out of date versions of ImageMagick for one application completely unrelated to my webserver by running portupgrade. Net result: it fubarred mod_perl somehow, and that borked my webserver, which is why it was down for ten hours or so. Sorry for the inconvenience.
