While configuring fetchmail (installed from the ports collection), I
have come across some problems. I tried to run
'/usr/local/bin/fetchmailconf', a Python script distributed with
fetchmail that uses Tk. This is what I got:

zsh: bus error (core dumped)  fetchmailconf

I am using the latest Python from the ports collection, with Tk 8.2.3
(which was installed as a dependancy by the Python port). 

I have put the python.core it dumps up for download here (~2.2 MB):

http://klamath.dyndns.org/python.core

I'm running fetchmailconf inside X, and I have tried installing the
tk8.0.5 port instead of tk8.2, but when I do that, Python doesn't even
run (the ports tree Python only works with tk 8.2 - the latest
official Python release only works with tk 8.0). If someone is pretty
sure the fetchmailconf script is not compatible with latest version of
Python | TK, I'll compile an official version of Python myself, and
see if that works (I haven't done that yet since the error doesn't
seem like it is related to TK)..

Is this a known problem? Should I report this to the fetchmail people?
Or is it something FreeBSD-centric?

Oh, and I'm a FreeBSD newbie. Should I have posted this to -bugs? Does
that deal with FreeBSD (kernel?) related bugs only, or ports tree
bugs, or what?

Thanks in advance,

Neil
