XviD 1.1.3 staging error - tclsh segmentation fault

[c.cox@…]

XviD port fails to install, reporting a segmentation fault in tclsh during staging. Problem noted under OSX 10.4.11 / MacPorts 1.6.0 with both ActiveTcl 8.5.3.0 and TclTkAquaBI-8.4.10.0. Currently prevents installation of '+xvid' variant of 'ffmpeg' port.

Running 'sudo port -v install xvid +universal' produces the following output during staging after a successful compile. The same behaviour is observed for the non-universal variant, as well:

Segmentation fault

Update: this may be a more general problem with the MacPorts installation on the machine in question, rather than a problem with the XviD port in particular: running 'sudo port upgrade install' produces the same problem with the 'texinfo' port (which it tries to install), reporting a malloc(1) segfault in tclsh during staging:

tclsh(6806,0xa000eca0) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to debug

While some other packages appear affected (e.g. 'x264 +universal'), others don't: 'faac +universal' installs without any trouble, as does 'lzmautils'. For what it's worth, the current MacPorts installation (1.6.0) was updated with the binary package -- this might not explain the current crashes, but then again, I'm not sure what does. Suggestions would be very welcome!
