Gawd.  Not this *again*.  Did you try searhing the web at all?

   http://freebsd.rambler.ru/srch?words=%5BBUG%5D+Bus+Error+%3E+ruby+1.8.2+%282004-07-29%29+%5Bi386-freebsd5%5D+solution&set=freebsd 

Anyhow, a work-around is to:

    % setenv PORTS_DBDRIVER=bdb1_hash

and then do all your portupgrade stuff as usual.  

The problem is with the bdb1_btree functions in the base system.  A
fix has been committed to HEAD, RELENG_4 and RELENG_5.  It won't be
applied to RELENG_5_2, so either you're going to have to extract the
patch yourself and apply it manually, or you can upgrade to one of the
5.3-BETAs.

	Cheers,
