Well, the stdc version of `free' *does* crash if you try to improperly
deallocate memory blocks.
So? That's consistent with my statement. Invalid pointers are programmer error, hence crash.
And it returns an error code on programmer
error (i.e., an invalid `FT_Face' handle).
It should assert and crash insteda.
