A similar bug to this is be solved by:

    portupgrade -uf freetype\* fontconfig\* libXft\*

However, having said this, I upgraded eclipse just yesterday, and this
workaround did not work. The `inflate_fast+0x17' bug also exists for
eclipse + JDK1.5. I wonder if this could this be fixed by using the
system zlib instead of the one shipped with the JDK.

Cheers.
