infinite loop running make release on checked out svn sources

Hi.

I'm trying to create a release ISO from 9.1 svn sources just for practice. If I want everything to work, I follow the instructions from release(7) and do:

Code: 
# cd /usr
# svn co http://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1/ src
# make buildworld buildkernel
# cd release
# make release

... but let's say that I have a separate filesystem that I use for sources called /pool1/freebsd-src, and let's say that I want to build there instead of in /usr/src. This is where problems start to happen:

Code: 
# cd /pool1/freebsd-src
# svn co http://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1/ 9.1
# setenv WORLDDIR /pool1/freebsd-src/9.1
# make buildworld buildkernel
# cd release
# make release

According to release(7) man page, it says re: WORLDDIR:

Code: 
    WORLDDIR     Location of a directory containing the src tree. By default,
                 the directory above the one containing the makefile (src).

The compile works perfectly, but "make release" was taking forever! I looked in the build window which I had minimized and saw many lines like this:

Code: 
a usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/dist/usr/src/release/ia64

... and then I noticed that in /usr/obj/pool1/freebsd-src/9.1/release that src.txz was growing huge.

What am I doing wrong that is making "make release" go into an infinite loop, building in a directory other than /usr/src?

(I could use nullfs to mount /pool1/freebsd-src/9.1 to /usr/src, and that works, but I obviously shouldn't need to do this.)

Thanks for any suggestions!
 
solved the problem

Actually, it seems that I solved the problem.
I removed the entire /usr/obj tree which had various previous build attempts in it, and rebuilt from scratch.
Everything worked.
