Yep, that's what I meant. The amount of output can vary depending on
what's going on. --enable-debug provides the arguments to functions and
the line numbers.

This is a crash in the Freetype libraries, and I strongly suspect it'll
be a bad font, perhaps one of the OpenWin fonts. This pretty much
confirms what you already strongly suspected, but it's always best to
check.

I'm going to try to install Solaris 10 today, time permitting, so with
luck I'll be able to play around with it myself and fire up Scribus in a
debugger.

I'd be handy to know what you had to do to get Scribus built in Solaris
10 so I can spend less time flailing around myself. I haven't used
Solaris yet, except an older version on a very basic level.
