Feel free of course to report potential bugs, but if you do you need to
supply at least basic context information about what you were doing.
All we know is that you were using something or other called geany.
There is an implication here it has something to do with zsh but I don't
know what.
Sorry Peter, I'm so sure it's not zsh's fault that I'm mentioning it in passing just in case anyone shows the slightest interest, at which point details would follow. It is just remotely possible that someone would say "zsh shouldn't be reporting a seg fault due to some other program crashing, tell us more." But you can hardly edit a working font under a running program without that causing trouble so I spare the details. Probably shouldn't have posted that at all. However it is the first time I've ever seen a seg fault that wasn't due to my own tinkering. Things crash, but zsh has never had anything to say about it before this.

geany is a quite nice GUI IDE/editor.
