See my previous post to stable@ in December, which was unfortunately 
unanswered: 
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2008-December/047142.html

Short: The version from gavin crashes for me, too, but the initial 
version from perforce (before vap was introduced) works -- with some 
issues. There are only very few differences between those 2 versions.

I guess someone with knowledge of vap would have to go through the 
perforce and current changes to find the stabilizing changes.

Cheers,
Jan Henrik
