I've used it on my 5.3 box; it seems fine. My experience doesn't mean
you are wrong.

Anyway, to my eye, it's not portsdb that is failing; in the first
example, it's awk:

It just happens to be failing within portsdb, at that point.

His second example had to do with running ls; that also failed, with
the same message:

Shared object has no run-time symbol table
