port upgrade crashes (segmentation fault)

[vinc17@…]

For some port upgrades, port crashes on my Mac OS X 10.4.11 machine:

[...]
--->  Compressing man pages for ruby
man1/ruby.1:     59.1% -- replaced with man1/ruby.1.gz
man1/ruby.1.gz: changing permissions from 00644 to 00444
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  sudo port -v upgrade ruby

and

[...]
        Session bus services dir: /opt/local/share/dbus-1/services
        'make check' socket dir:  /tmp
        launchd agent dir:        /opt/local/Library/LaunchAgents

zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped)  sudo port -v upgrade dbus-glib

I had no such problems before 1.9.0.

The crashes don't always occur: retrying with the same command sometimes works.

And your shell is zsh? (Is that zsh from TIger or zsh or zsh-devel from MacPorts?) Do you see the same problem if your shell is bash or tcsh?

Replying to ryandesign@…:

And your shell is zsh?

My login shell is /bin/bash, though I usually work with zsh.
