mozilla freebsd frankenbuild cvs build from yesterday
frankenbuild means:
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/obj-xlib-@CONFIG_GUESS@

# Options for 'configure' (same as command-line options).
ac_add_options --enable-crypto
ac_add_options --enable-jsd
ac_add_options --with-extensions="wallet cookie xmlextras transformiix"
ac_add_options --enable-idltool
ac_add_options --enable-xterm-updates
ac_add_options --enable-ldap-experimental
ac_add_options --enable-mathml
ac_add_options --with-xlib
ac_add_options --without-gtk
the poof file that it's complaining about is a dangling symlink it might relate
I got this assert at startup

if i have time, i'll play with the patch :-) 

confirming because i eventually reproduced on my psuedo clean xlib build. it 
seems to require me to kill mozilla early and then run it again.

his fix.
