>Description:
While using sysinstall utility to fetch packages via a http proxy, the program reports a segmentation fault (sig 11) and dumps core. It reports connecting to the download site, but dies while displaying "Located INDEX, now reading package data from it...." This only occurs while using the http proxy option, active and passive ftp works fine. Also the sysinstall version in 4.3 does not have this problem on the same platform.

>How-To-Repeat:
execute /stand/sysinstall, select <Configure>,  Select <Packages>,  Select <4. HTTP>, Select <ftp.freebsd.org>, enter proxy ip and port 
>Fix:
Workaround: just download and add packages manually.
Fix: Segmentation fault usually indicates code error, hence the bug report
