Looks like he missed a decimal point - 2.2MB as opposed to 22MB.  So,
apparently thats not the culprit, if there even is one.

True enough.  I still haven't gotten a definitive answer, which most likely
means there isn't one - which doesn't completely surprise me, seeing as how
relatively new Gentoo still is.

Oh well, looks like you'll be providing some detais in this area.
