This means that the error is specific to win64.

Well, we no longer use CVS but git, and it's really quite easy: You
check out a certain state of the repository, you run the compilation,
you call your program, and you check whether it crashes.  This makes
either a `good' or a `bad' state, and git then provides you with
another version to repeat until you get the problematic commit.  Have
a look at the tutorial link I've sent in a previous e-mail.

HOWEVER, since both the old and the new version fails with win64, it
doesn't make sense to bisect – except you find an old FreeType version
that works.

Uh, oh, this slipped my radar :-) Buggy compilation, buggy debugger...

Thanks!
