I'm doing a fresh build right now (I wonder if I should have disabled 
the new font backend this time to see what happened, oh well). Could you 
explain how exactly I would do that in gdb? If I copy the source along 
with the binaries, will gdb be able to find it and I can put a 
breakpoint in there? I usually copy what gets put in the directory when 
I do a make install.
