OK, this problem really comes from trying to upgrade my ports, but it's 
been going on for a couple of months now. I have cvsupped many times, built 
index, run portsdb -u, run pkgdb -F, always same result.

Whenever I try to portupgrade a port which depends on fontconfig, or when I 
try to portinstall fontconfig, I get the following error:

Running fc-cache to build fontconfig cache...

*** Error code 139

The seg fault *always* comes while trying to build the cache for TrueType. 
I have 175 font files in there -- could that be the problem? I have 560 on 
my Windoze machine and *that* has caused a problem with Java. I don't have 
a lot of disc space -- the hard drive is only 4 gigabyte, but everything 
else seems to work (except I *don't* have enough room to install XFree86 
4.3.* from the port -- had to install the binaries).

It seems quite a few other ports depend on fontconfig, and every time I try 
to upgrade one of them I run into this. Any suggestions?
