I don't know what exactly started it happening, but now xpdf is seg faulting. It might be my font configuration, but it's happening on my desktop and my laptop.
This task depends upon

strangely enough, I rebuilt xpdf on my box yesterday. And it segfaulted too. Blaming the rebuilt with the tweaks and patches I let it go, without checking the current version, which worked just the day b4. It seems to be related to dorph's mass updated, maybe the t1lib is effected since rebuilding xpdf doesnt help at all.

On my box I get:
~$ xpdf
Error: Cannot perform calloc
~$
instead of segfault.

I downgraded lesstif and things are working again, unfortunately it is not a solution, I'm looking for a patch...

The segfault should be fixed with version 3.00-5 (hope you don't mind Tobias...).

I don't know if it will affect the calloc or not.

yeah that calloc error also disappeared :]
for me it now segfaults on quit as you mentioned in cvs log
