Some analysis shows that the program that causes the segfault is
the perl script "intltool-merge" which is part of the net/ekiga
distribution. Specifically, the fault occurs within the
"create_translation_database" subroutine when the program
processes the *.po files in the po/ subdirectory. It turns out
that the perl script chokes on the "dz" language (dz.po).
All others work fine.

Note: Using non-threaded perl is not an option because some
ports (e.g. p5-sdl-1.20.3_6) require threads.
>How-To-Repeat:
(Re-)build perl with the threaded option turned on. Then type:

cd /usr/ports/net/ekiga
make

>Fix:
Workaround: Skip building the "dz" language.

cd /usr/ports/net/ekiga
make patch
rm work/ekiga-2.0.11/po/dz.po
sed -i '.old' -e '/^dz$/d' work/ekiga-2.0.11/po/LINGUAS
make
