I can't reproduce this, but I don't have any "Hiragino Maru Gothic Pro"
font installed.

Kenichi Handa just installed a fix to fontset.c that may be related to
this, so it might be worthwhile to check if the crash is fixed on latest
CVS.  If not, please tell us where to get the Hiragino Maru Gothic Pro
font.

More information was requested two years ago, but was apparently not
given, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the bug is still present,
please reopen this report.
