[Pkg-fonts-bugs] Bug#452487: fontforge: Segfault when autohinting certain glyphs

[Theppitak Karoonboonyanan]

Package: fontforge
Version: 0.0.20071002-1
Severity: normal

Current fontforge crashes too easily to work with. Among all crashes, I
can reproduce one with a minimal sfd file, as attached. Try auto-hinting
the U+00A7 (section) and it 100% segfaults.

I have tried the latest CVS snapshot. This particular bug has gone.
But I haven't tried the lastest release (20071109) yet.
