xrender build causes kernel panic on Intel Mac

Hello all,

The strangest thing happened today. I was twice able to repeat this problem.

I built and installed a potpourri of ports from Darwin Ports 1.3.2 on to an
Intel based Mac running Mac OS X Server 10.4.7 Universal Binary (a new
release from Apple). I was installing on to a disc volume that was UFS
formatted.

The culprit that I was able to repeat was when I ran this command:

$ sudo port -s install xrender

before finishing the install it would cause my Intel Mac to kernel panic
(actually the machine would totally freeze up and all I could do was hold
the power button in for five seconds to power down). After booting up, a
report was generated to be sent to Apple. Here's the juicy part of the
report (not sure if it is helpful?):

Kernel version:

Any ideas on what may have happened? Has anyone able to get this to repeat
on their Intel based Mac?

Best regards,

T.
