Thank you for this.  I was not aware.  However, would it still not
behoove me to find out what is going on, if there really is a problem?
 I'm looking to install WebGUI on this system which requires MySQL and
ImageMagick (both of which are in the ports).  Wouldn't a compilation
of other program produce similar results?
