I haven't been able to crash X through any GNUstep app/tool - yet ;-)

Running BSD4.2 and BSD4.4 with XFree 3.3.6 (yea, I know) in three
different "modes" yield:

a plain XF86Config (about 1280 fonts)
        font_cacher crashes, font's look fine though
  (XF86Config is as it was after installation of X11)

a minimal XF86Config with xfs (about 3260 fonts)
        font_cacher crashes, fonts too large
  (every font entry replaced, except Local, by an entry for xfs)

a minimal XF86Config with xfs and xfstt (about 6340 fonts)
        font_cacher crashes, fonts too large
  (same as above, plus entry for xfstt)

I tried XFree 4.1.0 briefly - same results.
