"texi2html" is still broken.  The log ends with:

There is indeed a "User 503" so I don't know what that's all about.  More serious is the charset problem.  This is a clean build on a clean install of MacPorts v. 2.0.3 onto Snow Leopard.

The log looks the same as the last report, but the conditions are (slightly) different.  Before, there was indeed a "macports" user, visible only via "dscl".  This time, I made my own first-class MacPorts user, short name "macports", as user ID 503.  It's the only UID 503 on the system.

But again, the actual failure appears to be something different.
