DPorts: GLib bug crashes applications linked with it

[srussell at prodigeinfo.qc.ca]

Hi,

Sorry, I was unclear in my message. All pkgsrc packages have been 
totally wiped out from the station, none is left, including pam_krb5. 
pkgsrc is off from it. It would have been too risky otherwise and I 
might not have enough Tylenols left to handle this

What I meant was that I used the pam_krb5 source used by pkgsrc and 
ported it, compiled it and installed it myself, completly appart from 
any package system. The one used by FreeBSD is the Red Hat version. It 
doesn't work for any reason, like you said, maybe because it's expecting 
the MIT Kerberos instead of Heimdal and I'm using Heimdal with dports.

I'm 100% sure that the pam_krb5 that I installed myself on my station is 
not using anything outside dports and DragonFly itself.

It seems that the problem is related to nfsd filesystems, since like 
François Tigeot noted, it's happening only when a nfs mounted directory 
is displayed. I'm using nfsd and after some tests, I had the same 
results than him. Not sure also if it's caused by the dports's port of 
glib2 or DragonFly.
