Ah, oops.   When I created that font to test the STARTCHAR bug in X.Org's bdf
parser, I thought I'd looked at FreeType to make sure it didn't have the same
bug before we released the X.Org advisory, but I didn't think to actually test
it to see if something else would trigger.   (Other than the STARTCHAR and font
name, it's an ancient OpenLook cursor font Sun contributed to the X Consortium
decades ago, available at
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/font/sun-misc/tree/olcursor.bdf
or in the tarball
http://www.x.org/releases/individual/font/font-sun-misc-1.0.3.tar.bz2 .)
