 This problem has been spotted some time in the past (see the closed PR
#7615 -- it seems it should be reopened).
 As far as I could test I haven't been able to reproduce it (even with
4.02A). I'd be greatfull if you could provide more details (like how did
you install the port/package, a test example, etc.).
 This problem has been discusses on the pine-info mailing list too
(unfortunately I just can't find the thread but you can try browsing
through the archive at http://www.washington.edu/pine/pine-info/).

 The Pine Team has just released the 4.05 maintainance release -- I'll get
back to when I'll have the FreeBSD port prepaired.

 Well, I can tell you that I hit a strange bug in Pine beginnig with 4.03,
so don't be too enthusiastic (hopefully 4.05 should have fixed it)...
