then reproduce the problem in the bzip2 port to get a fresh core file

binary (/usr/src/bin/ln/obj/ln) but with the new core file and see
what the backtrace shows.
before doing that, I did this: make clean=depends (inside libxml, which
has bzip as a dependency). Make install again.
Now it built bzip2 but ln crashes while installing mapages of tcl. I
reissue make install now, it crashes again in tcl.
That is, starting from a clean port build may shift the problem, but
once it is there, I can hit again and again in the same place.
I will try if it survives a reboot, that is if it is file-system
dependent "only". Once I know it is, I can then check different "ln"
binaries by leaving it in the same state and not making clean.
