I found the problem: firefox (and thunderbird/seamonkey/sunbird) is calling
FcCharSetDestroy() on something fontconfig explicitly says "Applications must
not free" so it should FcCharSetCopy() it each time it wants it.
I've patched the packages to fix this and I see that firefox2.0rc3 already has
it fixed.
