No easy answers. I, also have no issues with 47.0 on my system and there
are no other reports of the problem you are having. So where to look?

What version of FreeBSD are you running? On what platform? i386 or amd64 or
something else. Most people are running amd64. If ir is another platform,
issues are less likely to have been seen. Is it 10.3 or something else.

Unless someone else has a better suggestion, I'd re-install all
dependencies. Older versions are more likely to have issues.I use
portmaster, but I know portupgrade can also do this. Or use packages. It's
a lot faster when you don't need any options on the ports.

Other than that, I have no good ideas other than to re-install everything.
And that may not fix it as it is possible that it's a memory or other
hardware issue.

I hope someone else has a better idea than I.
