Attached file call_stack.txt
This was found while fuzzing graphite2 1.3.5 (and is in 1.3.4)

This uninitialised memory can also end up being used in calls to malloc(), fread() and fseek()

NOTE: There is an additional issue at the end of the log, a use of uninitialised memory in graphite2::TtfUtil::CheckTable.
Attached file test_case.ttf
On 64 bit graphite rejects the font as invalid. Was this tested on a different architecture?
Flags: needinfo?(twsmith)
This was found using a 64-bit build of graphite running under valgrind. When I run this font I see the valgrind errors followed by "Ran graphite2 in 0.001934s (0 glyphs)"

The command I ran was:
$ valgrind -q ./comparerenderer -n -f test_case.ttf -t test_string.txt -s 12
Flags: needinfo?(twsmith)
Attached file test_string.txt
Are the errors perhaps generated during the checking process that ends up rejecting the font?
