Thanks, I saw that once before and meant to look into it.  I updated the
port to 0.2.16.3 and added the patch.

I can't even get the daemon to keep running.  Something changes in
gmime/gmime# causing it to die while trying to index my evo mailboxes.
I dropped gmime/gmime# back a version and it went away which was how I
saw the posix_fadvise problem.

I look at Beagle only every once in a while so anyone is welcome to keep
looking at it if interested.
