Done.  Still the same issue:

port search ldap
p5-file-readbackwards @1.04 (perl)
     net ldap

port search readbackwards
p5-file-readbackwards @1.04 (perl)
     This module reads a file backwards line by line.

The second one should certainly find the first, but I have no idea  
where the first one is coming from.
