I hate to pick on you, but I get a lot of such reports, and they do _not_ help. There is a whole page dedicated to what to send when reporting a bug: http://www.freebsd.org/gnome/docs/bugging.html. In addition to what's listed there, since you're seeing a crash, a gdb backtrace of the segfault would be helpful. Also, it would be good to get your /etc/make.conf.
