Re: [Devel] freetype infinite looping

[Scott Long]

Right, that's what I found as well. The infinite loop was occurring in 
ahglyph.c. Stepping through, I find that on line ahglyph.c:838 (in the 2.0.5 
distribution) is the line:

point = point->next.

Unfortunately, point == point->next and it loops forever.

This was observed using the little test driver I attached.

Thanks for looking at it,
Scott
