Hi, A Lee,

this is about a segfault in a package you NMU'ed early this year, and
maybe you can help.

I have investigated a bit further, and tried with earlier versions of
freetype1 from snapshots.debian.net.  

1.4pre.20050518-0.1  does not segfault
1.4pre.20050518-0.2  does not segfault
1.4pre.20050518-0.3  does segfault (and is much slower)

The changelog of 0.3 says:

 freetype1  (1.4pre.20050518-0.3) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Non-maintainer upload
   * Fix build-dependency. (Closes: #346485)
   * Update config.sub/config.guess. (Closes: #346521)

(and there are no diff's in the bug logs).  

The strange thing is that the config.sub and config.guess files in the
0.3 version are in fact old, from 2003.  I've copied the ones from
current sid into the source tree and rebuild the package, and it still
segfaults. 

A Lee, could it be that you did in fact not update config.*, but
something else instead?

Regards, Frank
