Bug description:  imagettftext() randomly returns a warning

Description:
------------
Every so often, I get this output from my file:

<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  imagettftext(): Problem loading glyph in
<b>g:\hostroot\a0007\default\wwwroot\images\button.php</b> on line
<b>81</b><br />

And so ofcourse, the image displays as the notorious red X in IE

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

define("FONTFILE", "./arial.ttf");
define("FONTSIZE", 8);
define("WIDTH", 145);
if ($_GET["bottom"] == 1) {
        define("HEIGHT", 20);
        $mod = -1;
}
else {
    define("HEIGHT", 19);
        $mod = 0;
}

$im = imagecreate(WIDTH,HEIGHT);
$black = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);

//This part of the code was omited because of its length. It basically is
a bunch of imagesetpixel(), imageline(), and imagefilledrectangle()
functions to give this button a 3d bevel.

//text
$textdata = imagettfbbox(FONTSIZE, 0, FONTFILE, $_GET["text"]);
$bbox_h = $textdata[1] - $textdata[7];
imagettftext($im, FONTSIZE, 0, 4, 14, $black, FONTFILE, $_GET["text"]);

imagepng($im);

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Most of the time this works, but it randomly gives the error described
above.
This problem only occurs on PHP 4.3.2 and worked fine under 4.2.3.
