Mike,
If you're logged in as root when you start the server and this still
happens, then it looks like a problem with FreeBSD's ioctl function in
/usr/lib/libc_r.so.5. I'll bet their ioctl has been modified to check if
the port # is less than 1024 and to do some extra checking on it. You
might want to post this question to the FreeBSD news groups.
/s.

Subject: Re: [AOLSERVER] Segfaults when running on port 80
Hi again,
Well, here is what I got. Once again, I only get this when trying to run
on a privilaged port (like 80). The server runs fine on port 8000 I am
starting the server as root and having it suid to user www and group

I'm going to to post a bug report too, but I thought I would just put it
on here as well in case it might be something really simple.
Thanks,
Mike
