Great, I'm really looking forward to being able to put 2.1.10 behind us. :)

Well, I've been doing all of my testing with local packages of 2.2rc4, based
on the existing Debian packages; unless 2.2rc4 includes changes to how the
bytecode interpreter is enabled, the patch used for previous versions ought
to still be having the intended effect.

You're welcome to have a look at these packages at
<http://people.debian.org/~vorlon/freetype/>, to confirm whether it is a
bytecode interpreter issue.

Thanks,
