First, this is _NOT_ what one really wants to do.  Perl is a
dependency of streamtuner and that command will cause perl to be
rebuilt and set /etc/make.conf to:

	.undef PERL_VER
	.undef PERL_VERSION
	.undef PERL_ARCH
	.undef NOPERL
	.undef NO_PERL

and, of course, this will cause some issues.  A more correct way is:

    portupgrade -fR streamtuner-\* -x perl-\*

which will exclude perl from the rebuild.  Hopefully, this will help
someone searching the archives and prevent them from using the
portupgrade -f indiscriminately.  I know I learned my lesson well ;-)

Secondly and probably the most important is that the maintainer,
( Jean-Yves Lefort <jylefort at brutele.be> ), submitted ports/79201
which I can confirm fixes the core dumping on my 4.11-STABLE:

    http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/mid.cgi?20050324152403.38E0A8649

Hopefully, someone will find some time to commit this before the
5.4-R rollout.
