Portupgrade seg. fault

[Michael Shafae]

Hi,

I have a FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE-p2 system which I have installed  
portupgrade--20040701_3, ruby-1.8.2.p2_1, and ruby18-bdb1-0.2.2.

Previously upgrading ports were effortless with portupgrade. Today, I  
first CVSUP'ed the ports tree, read /usr/ports/CHANGES and ran `make  
index`. Then I tried to upgrade various ports and it all failed with  
portupgrade seg-faulting.

For example:
[188] [13:15]lou% sudo portupgrade tiff
[Failed `Inappropriate file type or format'] [Updating the portsdb  
<format:bdb1_btree> in /usr/ports ... - 11959 port entries found  
.........1000.........2000.........3000.........4000.........5000....... 
./usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/portsdb.rb:587: [BUG] Segmentation  
fault
ruby 1.8.2 (2004-07-29) [i386-freebsd4]

Abort (core dumped)

I'm at a loss at why portupgrade is seg faulting. Any ideas about how  
to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Michael
