I'm not sure how to fix it but I've found where portmanager crashes
when run from cron, the code is:
if( !strncmp( getenv("TERM"), "xterm", 5 ) && isatty(fileno(stdout)) )
{
stringSize = strlen( id )
+ 1
+ strlen( VERSION )
+ 1;
xtermTitle = malloc( stringSize );
xtermTitle[0] = 0;
strcat( xtermTitle, id );
strcat( xtermTitle, " " );
strcat( xtermTitle, VERSION );
printf( "%c]0;%s%c", '\033', xtermTitle, '\007' );
free( xtermTitle );
}
This is used to put information in the xterm title screen while portmanager
is running, I don't know enough about cron to have a clue how to fix this
except to remove it and I don't want to do that. Anyone have any ideas?
This particualr code snippet is from portmanager/portmanager.c around line
137....

ps. I've cross posted this to freebsd-hackers because it is a coding problem,
so you may want to remove freebsd-questions from any replies.
