  portsdb(1) is part of the portupgrade suite and is used to convert a 
ports
  INDEX file to a binary INDEX.db database. By default, it uses the
  libc-builtin berkeley db to do so, which has a buggy btree 
implementation.

  If you see errors like "[BUG] Segmentation fault" while a portsdb 
update is
  in progress, adjust the PORTS_DBDRIVER variable (in your environment 
or in
  pkgtools.conf) to either bdb1_hash or dbm_hash.

  This problem was fixed in 5.3-RELEASE, but users of 4.10-RELEASE and
  5.2.1-RELEASE (and older releases) will find fixes by updating to the
  latest (at least after Sep 20) of RELENG_4 or RELENG_5.
