WebKitPluginHost is losing its connection to fontd

See Radar 8630760.

Radar 8630760 is about general ATS-related crashes for all apps on the system after running run-webkit-tests enough times on Snow Leopard.

This bug is specifically about WebKitPluginHost crashing, as it seems to be the most common process to crash, and may be what is causing fontd to go down for all apps (which is the current working theory in the Radar).

This may be related to quicktime?   Maybe this should move to Radar?  Please advise.

I imported it into Radar for tracking purposes and related it to <rdar://problem/8630760>.

My current suspicion is that these crashing may be triggered by us feeding invalid font data to CG during one of the layout tests.  That's just a theory.  I certainly know we have @font-face tests.  Some of which may register all sorts of nasty fonts.

It's also possible that CG or fontd is leaking in some form and that eventually enough @font-faces causes it to get into a bad state.

The full system death happened again this evening and I updated radar 8630760.
