Well, since it breaking, I've /tried/ to update my ports collection.  This
*is* related to BETAx.  Here's what I did:

1) Discover that OSS (grrrr....) has drivers for my sound card for -BETA5.
2) Try them, have them core.  Start to debug by updating to RELENG_5 (-BETA6).
3) Try running firefox.  It hangs.
4) Try re-compiling firefox.  Installation hangs.
5) Try deleting firefox, deleting work/ subdirectory, and recompiling.
   Installation hangs.
6) Sup my ports.  Nothing about firefox.

The *only* port in my system that's changed since the upgrade is a new
install of libtheora, about ten minutes ago.
