>Description:

The www/squirm port has numerous errors that have only shown on FreeBSD5.
These include multiple double-free memory errors, errors with handling the
return from strdup() and the use of the gnuregex library.

These errors cause the installed binary to core dump on access.

Previously submitted PR from me fix some of these errors with a patch, but I
have been in communication with the developer, and a completely fixed
release has been tested.

None of the bugs in the current version of the port are present in the new
version.

>How-To-Repeat:

Install port www/squirm and watch /var/log/messages fill up with errors like
this:

Aug 22 18:31:58 catbert kernel: pid 41795 (squirm), uid 81: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

>Fix:

Replace the port for www/squirm with the one from here:
http://www.rotfl.com.au/philk/squirm.tgz

This updates squirm to v1.26 and fixes all known bugs.
