* Yes, that's the error that was reported in the PR (ports/17344).

Ok, but my observation contradicts asmodai's findings. Both the PR
and asmodai reports this error on 3-stable, and asmodai said mktable
segfaults under 4-{current,stable}. I saw this on 4-current (actually
4.0-release, this is the package building machine).

* Hmm, that I don't understand. The guy who filed the PR said that
* reverting patch-aa made it all work for him. He's running
* 3.4-stable from March 4, by the way.
This looks like what asmodai reported on 4-{current,stable}.
By the way, I repeated the tests on a 3-stable chroot environment (on
a 4-current machine), and it fixed the w3m and ja-w3m builds.
