>Description:

Normally installed teTeX (compiled from pkgsrc) includes a metafont
binary, that core dumps when compiling some fonts.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
One test file is in my home directory on ftp.netbsd.org (~is/lit.dvi).
When viewing this with xdvi, at least with the default metafont
mode set to deskjet and ljfour, it crashes after outputting character
[73] of cmbx12. The wrapper script continues, xdvi later complains that
it can't find the font. The same happens with cmmi at some size, too, 
later in the document.

>Fix:

Fix is not known. Workaround is to compile teTeX-bin with these lines 
added to /etc/mk.conf:

CPU_FLAGS=-O0
.sinclude "/usr/pkg/share/mk/cpuflags.mk"
