Hi,

I discovered the same problem.  I couldn't figure out a proper
fix for it.  I tried recompiling compat4x and gettext ports, but
it didn't help.

This is what I did:

(1)  Create a file a.c with the following lines

char *stpcpy(char *dst, const char *src)
{
  int i=0;
  for(i=0; src[i] != 0; i++) {
     dst[i] = src[i];
  }
  return &dst[i];
}


(2)  gcc -shared -o liba.so a.c

(3) For the bash,sh,ksh shells:
     LD_PRELOAD=./liba.so ymessenger

    For tcsh,csh shells:
    setenv LD_PRELOAD ./liba.so
    ymessenger
