Comment:

 Through [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 users/2009-September/016543.html mailing list discussion] and more testing
 it seems this issue is unique to Snow Leopard. It does not occur in my
 testing on Tiger or Leopard, though a different issue does: #20896.

 Regarding the patch Jonathan submitted above, I would very much like to
 first know what revision caused the problem, since this all used to work
 in MacPorts 1.7.1. Then, once we see what change caused the issue, we can
 think about how best to solve it. The script I attached to
 [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 users/2009-September/016471.html this message] could help test for the
 issue.
