ttmkfdir throws a Segmenation Fault for at least two truetype font directories.

Partial Output from /etc/init.d/xfs mkfontdirs

e /usr/share/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir -o /usr/share/fonts/TTF/fonts.scale -
d /usr/share/fonts/TTF
(output attached)

By examing the strace output, i found that 
/usr/share/fonts/encodings
- suneu-greek.enc.gz
- large/cns11643-1.enc.gz
- large/cns11643-2.enc.gz
- large/cns11643-3.enc.gz
were giving problems and thus i moved those away.
The problem dissapeared, but this doesn't seem to be a permanent solution.

X Window System Version 6.7.99.903 (6.8.0 RC 3)
Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.8.1 i686 [ELF]
Current Operating System: Linux xinu 2.6.8.1 #1 Thu Aug 19 09:44:54 CEST 2004

gcc version 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)

Tried the cvs HEAD too, had the same problem.

Attached (should  be) the strace output and the contents of /usr/share/fonts/TTF
