Ah, ok.

It doesn't directly use a service since services are always internal
to FreeType.  Instead, it uses a high-level API function that
delegates all of its work to a service.

BTW, `ftview' crashes in *exactly* the same way...  And I was wrong
since my memory failed me: `ftstring' also uses some caching code,
provided by routines in `ftcommon.c'.
