I've reported this problem using gnats about 3 weeks ago, but
nobody has followed it up - no big deal, I know you're all busy.

I also mailed the submitter a couple of days ago but have not
had an acknowledgement as yet.

I thought I'd post the problem here with what I know about it
in the hope that someone else can tell me that it must be a
problem with my system (and how to fix it) or confirm it is a
real bug.

Since a search of the mailing lists produces nothing but
unassigned bug reports containg my problem report and a
record of the conversations between the submitter and the
committer, I gather that no one has actually installed 
the port but me 8-(.

Running a title query on the database always produces the 
following results:

-------------------------------------------------------------
title -t Pi -full

It doesn't matter what movie name is searched for or what switches
are used, there is always a core dump.

I compiled the port with the -g flag in CFLAGS and used gdb
to do a backtrace:

Can anyone help with this as I have now reached the limit of
my debugging skills.
