This back trace is very helpful, from it I should be able to find the 
problem so thanks!

If your machine is a X86 class machine then sending the core file would 
make things even easier, also the output of uname -a would be nice.  On 
first glance I am suspicious of the /var/db/pkg/pine-4.44/+CONTENTS 
file, it maybe corrupt on your system  but I need to install pine and 
check it out on my system first.  Even if there is something wrong with 
pine on your system portmanager should be printing an error message and 
not core dumping.   I certainly have a bug to fix on this end so thanks 
for reporting this!

I'll keep you informed on the progress with fixing this.
