Bug#179731: xserver-xfree86: [xtt] server crashes due to various problems with xttfuncs.c



Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-5
Severity: important

You didn't file a bug report about this issue, and I could not find one
already filed, so I am doing so with this message.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.  I'll look into this.
