There was no joy in trying either of those.  It produced the same
core dump.

These are the /var/db/ports/*/options settings I have pertaining to
threads:

  boehm-gc/options:WITHOUT_THREADING=true
  boost/options:WITH_THREADS=true
  ilmbase/options:WITHOUT_THREAD=true
  python/options:WITH_THREADS=true
  python24/options:WITH_THREADS=true
  python25/options:WITH_THREADS=true
  ruby/options:WITHOUT_PTHREADS=true
  sqlite3/options:WITH_THREADS=true
  stunnel/options:WITH_PTHREAD=true

Certainly I'll help debug this on 6.x.  During the ports freeze
there's not much ports excitement going on (for me ;-)
