Yikes. This is my fault, I'm now recompiling it so the new package
will show up at the ftp sites soon. By the way, this problem should
only be with the binary package. Did you try to compile it from the
source in ports?

P.S. If you have specific gripes like this about packages/ports, it's
usually much faster to send mail to ports@freebsd.org. I don't
read the newsgroups everyday....
