>Description:
      Problem started Sept. 5 when a scripted upgrade check hung at "portversion -l "<"". Top showed 3 ruby18 processes tying up about 99% CPU. All ruby and portupgrade were deinstalled from system and reinstalled several times over a few days with same results. Running portupgrade results in:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/portsdb.rb:587: [BUG] Bus Error
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-07-29) [i386-freebsd5]
Abort (core dumped)
(ruby18), uid0: exited on signal 6 (core dumped)

>How-To-Repeat:
      Run portupgrade, portversion or portsdb on affected system. portsclean runs just fine.
