anyone from sparc team reproduce?
Yes, that's the reason for the downgrade (see the Changelog). It seems to be the case on all sparc systems. (We went sparc->~sparc because of this problem.) From the Changelog: ================================== 19 Oct 2005; Ferris McCormick <fmccor@gentoo.org> xchat-2.4.5.ebuild: Reverting to ~sparc for more testing. On a few systems, under as yet unknown context, xchat-2.4.5 generates a Bus Error when it tries to connect. Details not yet known. ==================================

xchat-2.6.0 works fine, so either downgrade to 2.4.3 or use the new one.
