But that *is* what's going on!  Looks like longjmp might be being called
before setjmp being called.

I highly suggest you remove ftvalid (and gxvalid).  It's unused, which makes
it untested, and as such broken.

OTS does the same thing, but is actually used in Firefox and Chrome, and as a
result tested in practical situations.  But even that was very broken in
certain ways around GSUB/GPOS and we have just got to a point that it can be
called ok.

A more extensive font lint tool is a great idea, and one that is sorely
missing right now.  But FreeType isn't the place to do it.
