segfault in libfontconfig.so?

[Bill Moseley <moseley@hank.org>]

Hum, with all this talk of Highlighting and browsers, bot Opera and
Mozilla are now broken for me.  Mozilla was eathing all CPU (stuck in a
read() call) but was fixed by mv .mozilla .mozilla.old.

Opera on the other hand is now segfaulting -- well gdb reports:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

0x402c07cb in FcCharSetEqual () from /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so

I removed and reinstalled Opera (before I realized it was not Opera).

Any ideas on fixing? 

I think I'm going to be happy that I've got /home and /usr/local on
separate partitions from everything else.  This machine has so many issues
that I feel a reinstall coming on...
