I don't believe so.  Looking back, Randy has already provided enough to
identify the problem and access to his machine.  So, I need to find the
time to debug it.

If anyone with the knowledge to debug it wants to work on it; my notes
indicate that we found that globs are broken.  since, there may have been
other changes with fbsd ports that have changed that.
