I'm not sure how to fix it but I've found where portmanager crashes
when run from cron, the code is:


       if( !strncmp( getenv("TERM"), "xterm", 5 ) && isatty(fileno(stdout)) )
       {
               stringSize      = strlen( id )
                               + 1
                               + strlen( VERSION )
                               + 1;
               xtermTitle      = malloc( stringSize );
               xtermTitle[0]   = 0;
               strcat( xtermTitle, id );
               strcat( xtermTitle, " " );
               strcat( xtermTitle, VERSION );
               printf( "%c]0;%s%c", '\033', xtermTitle, '\007' );
               free( xtermTitle );
       }


This is used to put information in the xterm title screen while portmanager
is running, I don't know enough about cron to have a clue how to fix this
except to remove it and I don't want to do that.  Anyone have any ideas?
This particualr code snippet is from portmanager/portmanager.c around line
137....

ps. I've cross posted this to freebsd-hackers because it is a coding problem,
so you may want to remove freebsd-questions from any replies.
