Crash Data

This bug was filed from the Socorro interface and is report bp-2ce937de-4572-4529-aa97-e61d00170826. ============================================================= Six crashes, all from a single installation. FT_Init_FreeType() is failing, can we do something less drastic than crash?
Flags: needinfo?(bugmail)
According to the MOZ_CRASH reason in the crash report, the FT_Init_FreeType return value is -1819741792 which is not a valid error return value. I'm not sure where this is coming from, it might be corruption of some sort. That being said, if this is from a single installation, and considering it's Linux-only (not our initial release target) and a non-default configuration, it's not a high priority at the moment. I filed servo/webrender#1622 for it anyway.

WR issue is fixed, haven't seen any more of these crashes in a while. Closing.

I don't think it's worth trying to run if FT_Init_FreeType fails. I've filed bug 1650662 to make non-WR crash earlier if this happens.
