I induced the crash by running "make clean; make buildworld" in one
infinite loop and "portsdb -Uu" in another. That string occurs in a
bunch of makefiles in /usr/ports. Some of the occurences in the core
are clearly from them, but many of them are surrounded by binary
data. I recursively grepped /usr/{src,obj,bin,ports} and
/usr/local/{bin,lib} and didn't find any binary files with that
string. My guess then is that it's from the memory image of a make
process.
