Fontconfig is WJFFM (Win7 x64, 290 .ttf files in Windows fontdir, none

specific font file?
Yes, that was it. The Thai font Angsana New (Regular) was corrupt;
removing it and all the other Angsana TTF files fixed that problem. Now
I'm back to debugging, on the Vista machine where gdb actually works
[1], the original problem with rxvt-unicode which I encountered on W7 --
that is, whenever I do anything "interesting" (like, say, simply
starting vi), my rxvt-unicode terminal crashes with a SIGABRT:
Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
0x00000000 in ?? ()
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00000000 in ?? ()

No idea why. I have debugging symbols available but...the abort appears
to occur down in ntdll somewhere, and I have nothing informative in the
remaining backtrace. Sigh. I'm pretty much stumped at this point; my
next try will be to build a completely minimal, zero frills, version and
see if it works better. If so, then slowly add features back...
