Hello Jeremy!

There was an interesting failure after installation of the latest  
security patches. In tcsh's history file were items like:

	l /System/Library/Fonts/
	
	otfinfo -i /System/Library/Fonts/儷黑\ Pro.ttf
	
	otfinfo -i /System/Library/Fonts/ヒラギノ明朝\ ProN\ W3.otf
	
	otfinfo -i /System/Library/Fonts/ヒラギノ明朝\ ProN\ W6.otf
	
	otfinfo -i /System/Library/Fonts/ヒラギノ角ゴ\ ProN\ W3.otf
	
	l /Library/Fonts/

which finally and at once led to

	Segmentation fault (core dumped)
	Exit 139

Other software failed as well, but Terminal, xterm, or the shells in  
GNU Emacs not... (Discovered by running /Applications/MacPorts/X11.app/ 
Contents/MacOS/X11 in Terminal.) Since it happens/happened on Leopard  
it's probably useless to report the tcsh behaviour as bug...
