------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
I have tried this and it seems to be a problem with portage rather than with 
kportage.  When changed my $PORTAGE_OVERLAY variable to point at a not-existant 
directory and tried `emerge -s anything` I recieved the same error I did when 
trying to start kportage.  Is your complaint that there is an error with 
portage or that kportage doesn't display a better error message? - Andrew

Summary:  kportage-0.6 crashes with SIGSEGV if $PORTDIR_OVERLAY doesn't exist

Original Submission:  Hi !

When setting PORTDIR_OVERLAY to a non-existing directory, a crash occurs.

When launching from a shell, following message appears:

bigben root # kportage
portage: init: PORTDIR_OVERLAY points to /usr/local/foo which isn't a 
directory. Exiting.
Can't load module

Then the kde Crash-Handler pops up with:
- In General tab :
"The application KPortage (kportage) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)"

- In Backtrace tab:

VERSION :
bigben root # kportage -v
Qt: 3.1.2
KDE: 3.1.1a
KPortage: 0.6.1

REPRODUCTIBLE : always
Note : I've not tried with other conditions making emerge to exit.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE :
- in /etc/make.conf, set PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/foo (with "foo" not 
existing)
- launch kportage

OTHER INFOS :
bigben root # emerge --info
Portage 2.0.47-r10 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.2, glibc-2.3.2-r1)

Sorry : the summary should read "kportage-0.6.1" :(
