In emacs-unicode, I also met the similar bug.  Emacs crashed
at the end of get_glyph_face_and_encoding.  In this
function, FACE_FROM_ID (f, glyph->face_id) returned NULL,
thus, the macro call PREPARE_FACE_FOR_DISPLAY at the end led
to the crash.  Though, this happens very very rarely.

As emacs-unicode-2 was branched after a big change in
display code, it's possible that we are seeing the same bug.
