This is an error very similar to the one I reported, ie. it is caused by the
autohinter doing a recursive call on code that was apparently written
without such a use in mind, so the code is run twice. I chose to do the
bitmap rendering the second time--it wouldn't work the other way around :)

I guess we may well discover more problems like this.
