Ruby18 error

[michaela]

I'm running FreeBSD v4.10 on an older 233Mhz Intel machine w/64MBs RAM.  I 
upgraded the ports collection and sources after the install with no problems 
whatsoever. 

Just today I attempted to upgrade my ports_collection and sources, and while 
executing "portsdb -Uu" I got this weird error....

webmail# portsdb -Uu
[Failed `Inappropriate file type or format'] [Updating the portsdb 
<format:bdb1_btree> in /usr/ports ... - 11736 port entries 
found .........1000.........2000.........3000.........4000.........5000.......
..6000.........7000.........8000..../usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/portsdb.
rb:587: [BUG] Bus Error

The error generated a 10MB Coredump file which I tried sending to you, but 
couldn't compress it.  

Should I try to "Make Deinstall" RUBY18, and then "Make Reinstall" it again??
