In diagnosing an issue w/ Sound Juicer (audio/sound-juicer) crashing on startup
on FreeBSD-11.0-CURRENT (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=742019),
research ultimately showed that the crash was thanks to libmusicbrainz5
depending on undefined behaviour of the std::string constructor which happens
to work on Linux. (it is passing NULL to the std::string constructor, instead
of "")

I have opened a GitHub PR w/ the libmusicbrainz5 project:
https://github.com/metabrainz/libmusicbrainz/pull/6

But so far have gotten no response. With the change in that pull request, Sound
Juicer starts and runs as expected on my system.

I'm a relative newbie to FreeBSD, is the above change something that would
normally get included in the FreeBSD port until upstream fixes and puts out a
new release?

Thanks in advance.
