Yes.  Yesterday morning, I cvsup'd as usual and everything happened to
work OK.  Tried again this morning, and it's back to ruby core
dumping.  What ever is triggering this appears to be quite subtle, and
it's not affecting anything else that does similar jobs with the ports
system.

As you say, removing portsmanager and portsman was probably
inconsequential.

Unfortunately there's not a lot that can be done except to provide any
debugging info that developers ask for and to remain patient.
