Which patch?  The fix mentioned on the apache site?  You could prepare
a patch that would work for macports (see the guide), test it, and
upload it to the ticket as a possible solution.

There is the patch idea I wrote above, and as well, I think at least
two people now have suggested that it is a problem with the new
erlang, so I guess you could try installing an older version of erlang
and see if it fixes the problem, which would confirm it.  See
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/InstallingOlderPort

I'm just guessing at things you could try.  By the way, it is probably
more effective to keep posting on the same thread (ie. yours from 2
days ago with subject "Macport 1.9 and couchdb crash (ticket 25375)")
rather than starting a new one.
