hit gettext bug & gettext .16 won't install

[Randall Hansen]

Yesterday i installed a new version of vim and hit "the gettext  
bug"[1].  I followed the directions on that page, force uninstalling  
and cleaning all affected packages.  Reinstalling failed, however,  
even with "-f".

Now I get errors trying to install gettext[2].  This line may  
indicate the problem:

../../build-aux/elisp-comp: line 78: 11126 Segmentation fault       
$EMACS -batch -q -l script -f batch-byte-compile *.el

I also ran `sudo port clean --all gettext`, but got the same error on  
the subsequent install.  Can anyone help?

TIA,

Randall
