Tim,

  I've diffed every file in the fontsproto package and it looks like the code
didn't change. There were a ton of doc changes and <copyright>, etc.. changes,
but nothing that would explain the crash as being part of that upgrade (at least
to me). Here is the complete list if changes in fontsproto (2.1.1-2 -> 2.1.2-1):

  I've put all the diffs here if you want to put another quick set of eyes on
