Patch to follow.

What version of WebKit do you see this with? I recently fixed a FontCache bug that might have been causing this issue.

Whatever is bundled in webkit-gtk 1.4.2 as found here: http://webkitgtk.org/webkit-1.4.2.tar.gz

Is this crash reproducible? As far as I can tell, bailing out of determinePitch() would merely delay the crash.

(In reply to comment #6) > Is this crash reproducible? As far as I can tell, bailing out of determinePitch() would merely delay the crash. This is trivially to reproduce on OpenBSD with a small number of file descriptors available. In my browser I set the ulimit -n to like 60 and open up a ton of tabs and it'll bomb. I agree though this patch only makes it a little better and in other cases it'll bomb elsewhere in the font code. Even though this helps it isn't a fix so it should be disregarded. What seems to be the root cause is file descriptor starvation but I have not been able to locate where this cascades into this (and many other similar crashes).

This bug refers to code that has changed drastically since, and the changes from the patch no longer seem relevant. Let's close this for now =)
