OK, aparently the timestamp of the fonts.cache-1 file is important:

	# Xvfb :1 &
	#
	# xclock -digital -display :1
	Warning: Cannot convert string "" to type XftFont
	[2]   Segmentation fault (core dumped) xclock -digital -display :1

	# touch /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/fonts.cache-1
	#

	*works*
	^C
	#
	# touch -r/netbsd /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/fonts.cache-1
	#
	# xclock -digital -display :1
	Warning: Cannot convert string "" to type XftFont
	[2]   Segmentation fault (core dumped) xclock -digital -display :1
	# Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID/, removing
	from list!

Fun...
(The problem can most probably get reproduced w/o Xvfb, I just don't have
access to the machine's console).

I guess I'll send-pr this now.
