The render code in xfree86 that is in xfree86 4.2.1 has a bug which will
cause xft2 enabled apps (like mozilla and gnome 2.2) to crash if strings
are too long. See:

I am the maintainer of the gnome 2.2 backport for woody, and I have been
getting a lot of questions regarding the semi-official backport of
openoffice for woody. It depends on woody's libfreetype, whereas my
gnome 2.2 backport needs freetype 2.1.3 (and xfree86 4.2 for that
matter).
