Do you have ports/files/patch-grg_safe.c? What version of gringotts do you have? How about you try to delete your ports tree and re-cvsup it. I'm unable to reproduce this. The patch patch-grg_safe.c takes care of this issue, and it's been in the tree since the port was added. Oh, and, you're not supposed to run gringotts as root. :) Cheers, -- Anders.
