Please send this kind of thing to me before sending it to GNATS, so you can get
a "Reviewed By:" stamp from me BEFORE sending it in.. I am the maintainer for 
this port after all.. ;)

Interesting.. I get the same problem using joe v2.8 (port Makefile v1.6)..:

Name of file to insert (^C to abort): prdesczsh: segmentation fault (core
dumped)  joe

Have you reported this to the joe author?

Thanks for your work on this! Unfortunately, however, it did not work on my
-CURRENT machine. But I suspect it may be because the -CURRENT machine is still
a very old version due to problems with if_ep. Thus the compiler is very out of
date now (gcc 2.91.66, although this compile worked fine with gcc 2.7.2.3 on
the -STABLE machine). In addition, who knows what changes might have been
committed since the date indicated above; maybe the error below is obsolete.

Could someone with a newer version of -CURRENT test it on their machine? I get
errors like this:

(kinda looks like the structures in the std includes have been changed here.) I
won't comment on whether the patch is ready to be committed, since it doesn't
work on my -CURRENT machine, and I won't say it ISN'T ok, since my -CURRENT
machine is out of date.

Thanks for the patch, again. Fixes it on the latest -STABLE.

This patch already exists in the port and it does indeed compile and work 
on an up-to-date -current box.  Thanks.

I take that back.  This patch is *not* already in this port.

I'll look into this shortly.
