That means that the program was linked with two threading libraries
(usually libc_r and libpthread), and unfortunately, they are not smart
enough to only initialize one or the other so they step on each others'
data.  Run "ldd -a" on your binary, determine which file depends on
libc_r, and rebuild the port providing that file.

A workaround would be to add a libmap.conf entry remapping libc_r to
libpthread globally.  See the libmap.conf manpage for examples.
