Comment (by qbarnes):

 Can you tell me how to reproduce the crash you're seeing?  I tried `export
 LANG=en_US.UTF-8` and running `par`, but couldn't make it crash.

 I looked into the 1.53.0 release and what it would take to update the
 Macports version.  I've got the `Portfile` updated.  Most of the existing
 patches have been integrated, so they can be deprecated, but not every
 patch has been integrated.  The monster one for i18n multibyte support
 isn't there, and its huge and complex (1400+ lines).

 I wrote the author about the i18n patch.  (He didn't write it originally.)
 I haven't heard back yet.  It's been over a year since 1.53.0 was
 released.  I would think if he was planning to update the patch he would
 have done it by now.  I could try to update the patch myself, but I'm not
 sure if I want to put in that effort (yet).

 I could see about integrating my porting changes nowish to get 1.53.0 out,
 but dropping the +i18n variant, or waiting until when or if that patch
 gets updated.  It would help a lot if I knew how much that patch was used
 by the community.
