[GRASS-user] Label crash

I have run into a consistent crash problem.

If I generate a label:
v.label map=Labels column=stuff font=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/ 
Vera.ttf
then it displays fine in the gui.  But if I try to use other monitors  
from the command line I consistently get a crash.  For example:

d.mon start=PS
d.labels labels=Labels

And I get the following repeated a whole bunch of times:

The process has forked and you cannot use this CoreFoundation  
functionality safely. You MUST exec().
Break on  
__THE_PROCESS_HAS_FORKED_AND_YOU_CANNOT_USE_THIS_COREFOUNDATION_FUNCTIONALITY___YOU_MUST_EXEC__ 
() to debug.

The same thing happens if I use d.mon start=PNG.

The same thing also happens with 6.3, 6.4RC3 and 6.4RC4.  I am on a  
Mac 10.5.6, and I am using the Kyngchaos binaries.  I was in touch  
with William Kyngesburye about it and he realized that the crash only  
happens when using true type fonts.  And some of the core info looks  
like it is freetype related.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
