Comment (by c.cox at sasktel.net):

 Update: this may be a more general problem with the MacPorts installation
 on the machine in question, rather than a problem with the XviD port in
 particular: running 'sudo port upgrade install' produces the same problem
 with the 'texinfo' port (which it tries to install), reporting a malloc(1)
 segfault in tclsh during staging:

 {{{
 --->  Staging texinfo into destroot
 tclsh(6806,0xa000eca0) malloc: *** error for object 0x317580: double free
 tclsh(6806,0xa000eca0) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in szone_error to
 debug
 }}}

 While some other packages appear affected (e.g. 'x264 +universal'), others
 don't: 'faac +universal' installs without any trouble, as does
 'lzmautils'.  For what it's worth, the current MacPorts installation
 (1.6.0) was updated with the binary package -- this might not explain the
 current crashes, but then again, I'm not sure what does.  Suggestions
 would be very welcome!
