The system was built on FreeBSD 10 originally, and not upgraded, I only 
did the portmaster -af after running into problems, in an attempt to fix 
them, not as part of an upgrade.  The problems showed up after 
installing an update using portmaster -r that reinstalled several ports 
after the php55-iconv and libiconv was installed.
