Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$fontfile  = '/usr/local/fonts/truetype/VERDANAZ.TTF';
$image     = imagecreate(700, 300);
$backcolor = imagecolorallocate ($image, 128, 128, 85);
$forecolor = imagecolorallocate ($image, 155, 255, 255);
ImageFtText($image, 25, 15, 5, 125, $forecolor, $fontfile, "Hello World!", array("linespacing" => 0.5));
Header("Content-type: image/png");
ImagePNG($image);
ImageDestroy($image);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
"Hello World!" on a png graphic 700x300

Actual result:
--------------
sometimes I get the expected result and sometimes I get
"child pid xxxx exit signal Segmentation fault (11)"
from versions 4.3.2, 4.3.3, 4.3.4, php-5.0.0b2.

I always get the expected result from versions 4.3.1, 4.3.0
