Sure, keep going.
I will create a ppl 10.1 patch for Freebsd ports. If we actually find
the bug we can still patch it in the ports system.
Also this bug seems not to affect gcc/graphite. Nevertheless it would be
nice to get it fixed.

I will be back in Germany in about one week. There it will be easier to
set up a FreeBSD box for you to play with. So if you are under time
pressure you do not have to fix the bug right now. We tracked it down
and I will make a box for you available in two weeks.
