Vulnwatch: Opentype font file causes Windows to restart.

Opentype font file causes Windows to restart.

Problem
-------

The attached OpenType font file will cause Windows to restart
immediately when the file is opened by the default viewer (fontview).
I doubt anyone would suspect a "harmless" little font file of being
able to cause such a thing to happen!

Software affected
-----------------
It has been tested on both Windows 2000 and Windows XP with exactly
the same result -- an immediate restart. Other versions of Windows
are untested.

Fix 

---
No fix known.
