There is a bug in versions of portsnap prior to today which causes
make_index to core dump when it encounters a cyclic dependency.  To
make portsnap work properly again, you can either
1. Upgrade your base system to the latest HEAD or RELENG_6 (if you
are using portsnap from the base system),
2. Upgrade to the latest version of portsnap (0.9.5) in the ports
tree, or
3. Wait until somebody fixes the audio/timidity++ port.
