gpg2 and pinentry-curses built from ports

prime# ls /var/db/pkg|grep pinen
pinentry-curses-0.7.3
prime# ls /var/db/pkg | grep gnupg
gnupg-1.4.7_1
gnupg-2.0.4

>Description:

gpg2, in its race to become more complex, now *requires* that you use the gpg-engine for everything, and the actual core 
programs have become little more than calls to the engine.  To wit, this means that any prompting for a password must be 
done via a "pinentry" program (for which there is no straight "console" port -- only a "curses" version.  To do little more 
than ask a password.

However, this utility (pinentry-curses) is broken in ports.

I do not believe this breaks anything non-pin-related (such as, say, verifying a signature), but haven't tested extensively 
since I can no longer access my keyring.

>How-To-Repeat:

(apologies for the ugly escape codes)

I have seen others report (on mailing lists, and such) the above modified as "chunk is already free" as opposed to "page".  
As I am a non-coder I am not sure of the difference.

>Fix:

Michael Nottebrock suggested making a change to malloc.conf (I tried it with the environment variable, to no success), in 
this thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/lucky.freebsd.questions/browse_thread/thread/8b973b58e090817e/db8d076bf53a8ea1

No fix is known -- unsure of whether to take this to the gpg team or not.
