3.0. shlib_dirs is empty, but I've just added /usr/local/lib. I didn't
know about that.

Perhaps /usr/local/lib was in the cache when I originally installed it,
and nothing had rebuilt the cache until a few days ago when something
broke? But wouldn't the cache need to be rebuilt every time I install a
port?

Defaults to 5%, it says. I shall investigate. Ta.

(Is that the minimum percentage? Surely BSD doesn't use a fixed size
buffer cache?)

Yeah, I'm sorry, I sent it with the wrong email persona. Noticed about
two seconds after I hit send, of course.

Thanks for the help.
