Somehow my weird, twisted little brain thought that pkg was a Perl script, so the idea of a stack trace didn't enter said mind. But having done a make stage (obviously pkg would support staging...) I noticed that it is indeed a C program. I'm a C programmer myself, so tomorrow I'll see if I can produce a stack trace. And I'll also obviously try MG's patch to see if it fixes the problem. Moreover, I can check whether using GCC or Clang makes any difference. I used to think it couldn't possibly matter, but I recently found out (with some help from the Forums) that building security/tripwire fails with Clang but works with GCC. To be continued, AvW -- I'm not completely useless, I can be used as a bad example.
