Mozilla uses client-side fonts via libXft. The crash in question is
in the X server's freetype module which supports server-side fonts.
You'll need to use an app which uses the (older) server-side font
support to trigger the bug.
An easy choice is xfd(1x) with a -fn option.
Eg:
xfd -fn -adobe-courier-medium-r-normal--0-0-100-100-m-0-iso10646-1
should trigger the bug if you have the freetype module loaded and
an entry in a fonts.dir file in your fontpath that points that XLFD
to a scalable font.
