problems with `xpdf' and `gv' after `port upgrade outdated'

hello,

both mentioned viewers do no longer work properly after the `port upgrade  
outdated' run
(xpdf itself was _not_ updated in this run AFAICS but `gv' was).
I noted that among other packages, `openmotif' and `ghostscript' underwent  
update.

what I see is e.g.

`gv' without arguments starts, but segfaults when immediately quitting  
with `q'
`xpdf' segfaults immediately (except in a single instance where it popped  
up like
`gv' does and segfaults later on).
could these be openmotif related problems?


`gv some.pdf' pops up the viewer, but does not show anything except the  
error window:

the error message for 10.5 and ppc is:

while the same for 10.6 and x86 causes the message

`gs some.pdf' (i.e. using ghostscript directly) displays the document just  
fine.
`gv some.ps' seems to work OK (just a single test).
I would guess, this has to do with ghostscript problems, but I'm not sure,  
of course.

any advice would be appreciated.

thanks

joerg


PS: using port version 1.8.2 with updated package list from yesterday and  
macos 10.5(ppc) and 10.6(x86)
