I'm hoping that someone has a quick suggestion that will allow be to get
past this.  Here's the log of what happens (long lines wrapped)

####

Putting gdb on the core file in /usr/pkgsrc/databases/mysql-client/work
tells me little since I don't have source:
 Core was generated by `tar'.
 Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
 #0  0x331d6 in ?? ()

The file it's working on is kinda largish, but not *that* big:
 -rw-r--r--   1 me   wheel  3762716 Apr 28 21:28 mysql-3.22.22.tar.gz

And the machine (Quadra 800 40/500+520, GENERIC kernel) should have plenty
of RAM - so says 'top', at least:
 Memory: 6736K Act 1240K Inact 428K Wired 24M Free 8K Swap 80M Swap free 

And I've got more than 20 MB available on /usr/pkgsrc, and at least 60 MB
in /tmp.

I don't think it's an unstable system because I haven't had anything else
act like this, and I've compiled about a dozen other packages.  I did a
'make clean', and also removed the distfile.  Trying again got me the same
thing.

Any ideas, anyone?
