fontconfig-2.1.92 considered harmful

I have been unlucky to try to do a major update of all
of my ports, including upgrading XFree86 to version 4.3,
on my 5.0-CURRENT notebook.

The update went fine except things like xclock(1) now
angry and eat all system memory and are eventually get
killed due to the ``out of swap space'' bug ;-).

I've tracked it down to the update of fontconfig port
to version 2.1.92.  Reverting to fontconfig-2.1_7 made
the symptoms go away.

This was a standard install of XFree86-4, with the
xf86config(1) generated config file.


Cheers,
