ahh, i see. i've had those ports installed long enough that i haven't
noticed. if nobody else looks at this first i'll play with it
tonight.

yeah, i imagine there's something wrong with the way we're building
berkeley db in the tree. now that you mention it, i think i saw this
problem this weekend when i was trying to build svn on my ibook under
osx. i just assumed it was something weird on osx, but i guess it's
more widespread.

(of course more troubling are the Bus Errors i get inside of apr on os
x, but more on that when i have time to get back to it...)
