>Description:
Trying to pkg_delete firefox I get this:

# pkg_delete firefox 
Memory fault 
# echo $?
139

Here are the last few lines when I ktruss it:

  5046      1 pkg_delete write(0x2, 0x8052513, 0x1) = 1
       "\n"
  5046      1 pkg_delete SIGSEGV SIG_DFL

>How-To-Repeat:

Install firefox-22.0 then try to delete it on a single processor machine with 2GB of RAM. Then use pkg_delete to remove the package. 
>Fix:
No fix is known currently.

 This is not a "small ram box". I use pkg tools on systems with 256MB ram or
 less ...
