 How did you create the package?
 
 There is no trailing '\n' after "PKGTOOLS_VERSION=20091115", which is
 probably the reason of the coredump.
 
   meta_build_info = 0x7f7ff7b51100 
"ABI=64\nMACHINE_ARCH=x86_64\nMACHINE_GNU_ARCH=x86_64\nOBJECT_FMT=ELF\nOPSYS=SunOS\nOS_VERSION=5.11\nPKGTOOLS_VERSION=20091115",
 
 I agree that this should not cause a coredump, but I'd like to know
 how this came to be.
 
 Cheers,
  Thomas
