System reset trying to configure Sybase server (databases/sybase_ase)
Hello! I installed the databases/sybase_ase port on the FreeBSD/amd64 system running 6.1-STABLE. The install went fine, and trying to run the su sybase cd ${PREFIX}/sybase-ase install/sybinit progresses fine for some time, until the system resets :-( The last messages out of it are: [...] Running task: boot the Sybase Server. Task succeeded: boot the Sybase Server. Running task: create the sybsystemprocs database. sybsystemprocs database created. Task succeeded: create the sybsystemprocs database. Running task: install system stored procedures. ......................... It does not try to make a kernel dump (dumpdev configured), it does not log anything in the last second (log messages sent to another system). Just a very quick system reset... And I saw it happen 4 times already -- in the same place. The Sybase binaries are 32-bit Linux, but they run as a non-privileged user ``sybase'' (created by the port). How could it possibly be doing such damage? Thanks! -mi

Please check that every binary executable, specially every static one, is branded with brandelf to "Linux".
