No offense Kris - I have tried that. As I mentioned, this is not an
isolated issue for my system for some reason. I don't want to spam a
group of ports maintainers with a problem that is general across several
ports for me and not specific to this port.
I'm looking for a suggestion for what I should do to solve the whole
problem if anyone has encountered something similar.
