I discovered by switching debuggers to lldb from gdb that the crash
was occurring in PRINT_XFT_PATTERN. I still don't understand why (gdb
is useless, and I haven't figured out lldb well enough to decode Lisp
objects), so I protected all instances of FcNameUnparse. I think this
is reasonable since the printed representation of an FcCharset is not
really useful to Emacs Lisp programmers.
(gdb) pp args
A syntax error in expression, near `) $val'.
I don't understand this; modern XEmacs .gdbinit uses pobj, my mistake.
Why there is a "pp" user command available I don't know.
