Binary package hint: libcairo2

Korean Feisty (7.04) and Gutsy (7.10) users have experienced various crashes or unexpected behaviors since the libcairo2 update of December 04th.

The bug apparently affects all programs using Cairo, crashing it randomly or causing it to malfunction. Most notably, Firefox crashes within minutes (sometimes less) after launch. Other programs, such as gnome-panel are also affected, making the system highly unstable and/or unusable.

It seems to affect users whose system was configured to use Windows .ttc fonts. Most common ones are gulim.ttc and batang.ttc. These are fonts included in Korean version of Windows.

Will try to obtain backtrace when I get home later today. In the meantime, if someone else with this problem can provide one (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash ), I'd very much appreciate it.
