OK, here's a weird one that I'm pretty clueless on.  When I run:

xfd -fn "lucidasanstypewriter-bold-14

there will be a couple second pause and then it will print
"xinit: Connection to X server lost", and maybe some broken
pipe messages and X will have died.  This only happens with 
this font.  Has anyone seen this before, and if so, any ideas 
what the problem and the fix is?  I don't know if this is a 
corrupted font, a server bug, a combination, or something new 
and exciting.  I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks.
