	I don't know if it'll help, but you should try a newer version.

	The latest release is 7.2d, and I have a patch to update the
	port to it. Here's how to do it:

	    cd /usr/ports/devel/
	    fetch http://tx97.net/~magv/diff/boehm-gc-7.2d.diff
	    patch -Ep0 < boehm-gc-7.2d.diff
	    rm `find boehm-gc* -name '*.orig'`
	    rm boehm-gc-7.2d.diff

	Install the port normally after that.

	(You can also run `make regression-test` from the port's directory
	to launch it's self-test and verify that it works).

Thank you for the patch, but the error in 7.2d
is essentially the same:

What else can I try?
