[yocto] Confusing error

[Gary Thomas]

Lately I've been seeing errors like these:

ERROR: When reparsing /local/poky-cutting-edge/meta/recipes-core/base-files/base-files_3.0.14.bb.do_install, the 
basehash value changed from 9505eae6877992fa6b9e3148cf3752eb to f19b1f7c30c515ab9ef905f96b6eaa5e. The metadata is not 
deterministic and this needs to be fixed.

I'm not sure what triggers these errors - I do have more than
one bitbake build running (separate directories).  I have a local
copy of the metadata and it was not touched during these builds.

I'm using Poky/Yocto rev 840e221ea7c35177fda37af618c4727fa7754789
but I've seen them for a couple of months now.

Ideas?

Thanks
