>Description:
      The application named "portmanager" available in the ports just gives a segmentation fault when run under crontab as "portmanager -s".
It is version : "portmanager 0.2.9_4 VERSION info:"

The bug is quite simple. In portmanager.c one plays with the TERM  environment variable to change the title bar of the xterm the user  might use. Unfortunatly under crontab, the TERM variable is unset and getenv() just returns NULL and that makes strncmp() segfaults.
>
>How-To-Repeat:
      Launch "portmanager -s" through crontab.  It will report segmentation fault.
>Fix:
In portmanager.c, just change :

 	if( !strncmp( getenv("TERM"), "xterm", 5 ) )

to

	if( getenv("TERM") && !strncmp( getenv("TERM"), "xterm", 5 ) )
