 the core dump is caused by a double call to a finalization function, one
 explicit and one implicit. The second time, the function tries to  
 free() a
 pointer that has been set to null by the previous call.
 
 This misbehaviour is not expected to expose to security threats. The fix
 to the freebsd port will consist of the upgrade to 1.3-stable; I will  
 send it in
 somewhere in the next four weeks.
