That doesn't make a difference here.  I assume the patch comes from this Debian
bug[1], which talks about uninitialised memory, but valgrind doesn't show any
errors except for the final segfault, so I think this is a different issue.

it does.  i just happened to notice i couldn't reproduce your testcase any more
when previously i could, and narrowed it down to that patch.  your patch does
look correct but i thought i'd check.

should be fixed by freetype-1.4_pre20080316, now in the tree package.masked.

Unmasked.  Thanks for the report.
