Weird.

Yes, I think so.  I'm not aware of a single part in FreeType where we
have a different behaviour depending on the platform (except specific
code like the stuff in ftdebug, of course).

Interesting.  On the other hand, it looks implausible that noone has
experienced similar problems with newlib's malloc function...  Maybe
there is a bad cast somewhere in the FreeType code.

Any chance to try a different malloc implementation?  You might also
activate FreeType's memory debugger (see `docs/DEBUG') for additional
diagnostics.
