portpkg.tcl script fails with segfault — at Initial Version

Description

Like 189 of portpkg.tcl uses the findBinary procedure to locate the full path to the cpio binary and then uses that as the value to the -x parameter of the pax command. This causes pax to segmentation fault.

The command that fails is:

cd /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_multimedia_mythtv-core.25/mythtv-core.25/work/destroot && /bin/pax -x /usr/bin/cpio -w -z . > /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_multimedia_mythtv-core.25/mythtv-core.25/work/mythtv-core.25-0.25.2-Fixes-20120918.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz

The attached patch file simply uses 'cpio' as the parameter to -x option of pax rather than the calculated full path (ie /usr/bin/pax). With just 'cpio' there is no segmentation fault.
