LOL - I like random "messing around" - but just like with code, it
usually causes more trouble than it's worth! ;-)

Glad it seems to work for now.  Keep us posted if you notice any odd
behavior as a result.

Well, after some random "messing around" with the code, I just commented
out
the two lines comprising the else{} block in util.c that includes line
6551:

  } else {
    /* Insert in chain */
    /*newPort->next = prev->next;
    prev->next = newPort;*/
  }

The periodic segfault problem seems to have gone away.  I've read
through
the comments around this section (particularly the comment block about
20
lines up), but still really have no real idea of what it does.  

If anyone out there has a better understanding of the code, I'd
certainly
like to know the consequences of this.

I'm sure removing this chunk of code will break something, but will I
miss
it? :)

- Brock
