Adding system_tools... to rc.conf got this to work.  Is this documented?
If it is, I did not see it.

I added "WITH_DEBUG= " to make.conf, and issued a "portupgrade -Rf
gnome2-office".  After rebuilding for a couple of hours, gnumeric still
does not print.  It freezes completely when the print panel comes up.
The command-line messages are:

pinot% gnumeric

^C
pinot% 

It does not crash as before, so there is no trace: it just freezes.  I
would be happy to try other things if they are suggested.
