Description rip 1999-12-06 16:00:00 UTC 
Xfstt thats in the ports contains several bugs that under certain cercumstances will cause it to thrash the drive continuesly forcing a hard reboot.

Fix: 

update the port to use version 1.0, I tried contacting the port maintainer, but the mail bounced:

jabley@clear.co.nz on Tue, 7 Dec 1999 03:37:34 +1300                                                                 
    The recipient name is not recognized                                                                             

I changed the port, it now uses version 1.0 and would like to request that I be made maintainer for this port.

My port works perfectly, portlint finds nothing wrong with it, but ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming doesnt exist so I can submit it for your approval
How-To-Repeat: difficult to say, it seems to relate to fonts that doesnt make sence to Xfstt, 
from the CHANGES file:

1.0
        Fix: illegal encodings causes xfstt to run away
        FIX: now attempts to unlink unix socket on exit
        Fix for BSD (was making Zombies - Thanks David Lowe)
        Changed some types for clean compile
        Added some Documentation to the FAQ

The usual submission method is to attach it to a PR like this one.
