[Scribus] Bugfix for build on FreeBSD

[Michael Schloh von Bennewitz]

Here's just a tip to those who are having problems running scribus on
FreeBSD 4.8 STABLE or some similar platform. The problem I was having
appeared after scribus built successfully. Upon running 'scribus', it locked
up when scanning the various directories for plugins, fonts, or whatever.

It turns out that it was calling a fcntl(2) on a file descriptor that was
previously closed.

I couldn't figure out how to fix this in the source code, but the work
around appears to be simple. Use a non-threaded libqt (not libqt-mt), and do
not link with pthreads. That means append --disable-threading to the
./configure line.

Sorry to say that a threaded scribus will not work, but that's better than
the app locking up and not being usable at all.

Regards,
Michael
