I think I see what happened.  The file that is named for the pygame 
source file is actually a "welcome" screen from one of the libraries I 
frequent, spelling out its rules for use of its wireless services.  It 
usually appears the first time I try to use a web browser to visit a 
site.  Does sbopkg use HTTP to download files?  It appears so, and that 
it accepts the library's initial page as the file it requested.  I 
suppose most of you use sbopkg from home and don't run into this.

As a workaround, I'll try to remember to use a web browser before 
running sbopkg, thereby loading the initial library page in the web 
browser rather than letting sbopkg read it.
