Emacs 23.2 for Mac installed from MacPorts dies on startup

[John Wiegley <jwiegley@gmail.com>]

I did a "port selfupdate" today to find that 23.2 was available.  So I did what I did for 23.1:

port edit emacs-app

edit the Portfile to add these lines (better optimization on OS X):

  configure.cflags  -fast
  configure.ldflags  -fast

Then I built and ran.  Now, emacs -Q runs, but if I run it with my regular .emacs it crashes before the .emacs has finished loading.  Here's the stack trace:

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at address: 0x0000000000000012
0x00007fff87ffd97b in libunwind::UnwindCursor<libunwind::LocalAddressSpace, libunwind::Registers_x86_64>::step ()
(gdb) bt

#5  0x00000001001a103c in ns_get_color ()
Previous frame inner to this frame (gdb could not unwind past this frame)

Looks like a NULL deference from here.  I'll try again later without the Portfile change.
