RE: [ft] Segfault in FT_Get_Name_Index, Solaris 9, FreeType 2.1.8+

Yes - a segfault if the pointer is not valid and a bus error if the pointer is 
valid but not aligned to the pointer size (32 or 64 bit depending on how it is 
compiled).

Yep: But dereferencing a bogus pointer would sometimes cause a bus
error, sometimes a segfault, I'd imagine.
