I will pretend to not have read this :-)

You are the only one reporting this issue.  Isn't it strange that
noone else is seeing this?  And why does an older version of FreeType
works just fine for you?  Older versions don't use calloc either...

I still think that you should create a minimum example that exhibits
your problem.  *Only then* you can be sure that it's *really*
FreeType's problem.

Sorry to say, but maintaining that it be `solid' now is
self-deception.  If you want to help find the real cause, here's
another suggestion: Please do bisecting the git repository to find out
which commit introduces the stack overflow for you.
