Well, in the more detailed backtrace available in the bug report
you've obviously forgotten to install the debug symbols for the
FreeType library. In other words, the most interesting part for us is
completely missing. Can you retry that?

Try the programs from the `ft2demos' (or `freetype2-demos') bundle,
for example `ftview' or `ftstring'. Ideally, you compile both
FreeType and its demo programs manually to get statically linked
binaries, thus avoiding potential complications with DLLs.
