Affected package: linux-pango-1.10.2_3
Type of problem: pango -- integer overflow.
Reference: <http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/4b172278-3f46-11de-becb-001cc0377035.html>

This problem has existed for awhile now. Unless: 

	DISABLE_VULNERABILITIES=yes

is used, linux-pango and any port that depends on it will refuse to
build. Is there any information on when this problem will be resolved?
I really do not like intentionally installing a program with a
potential security problem; however, in this case I have no choice.
