My guess is that this problem has been lurking all along, but was only
triggered when I changed font_manager to look for *all* system fonts
instead of only truetype,
Another data point: a recent svn version of matplotlib segfaults on my
OS X system, and ktrace suggests it occurs while it is reading
CharcoalCY.dfont. Running under gdb causes it to exit with a traceback
that ends like this:
File "/Users/jks/Hacking/matplotlib/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/font_manager.py", line 200, in get_fontconfig_fonts
status, output = commands.getstatusoutput("fc-list file")
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4//lib/python2.4/commands.py", line 54, in getstatusoutput
text = pipe.read()
IOError: [Errno 4] Interrupted system call
Investigating...
