Hi Carl,

Your patch seems to now be causing memory corruption problems.  I'm not
quite sure why this is the case.  Can you take a look at it?  I've
actually cloned it: FcObjectStaticNameFini has moved to fcname.c and has
been copied to FcStrStaticNameFini.

Here's what valgrind says:

==18539== Invalid read of size 4
==18539==    at 0x1B9203DD: FcPatternFini (fcpat.c:1325)
