Seg. Fault occurs

I am not sure the cause of this problem yet.

I just rebuilt emacs from a clean cvs download for today's date and built witout error (GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1
June 12th).

MH-E gets invoked fine.

F v  :folder visit brings up a window normally

But, when I select [RET] to view a message, the window doesn't change and I 
get a segmentation violation fault. 

My guess is that the problem is "ftfont_font_format()" getting called with a 
null value.

see below #4  0x20164811 in ftfont_font_format (pattern=0x0) at ftfont.c:1740

I am writing this to see if any of you has any ideas.
Tomorrow I plan to rip out the newly cvs downloaded mh-e lisp files and 
replace them with a "Jan 28, 2008"  MH-E source.  This will at least give me an indication of wheter the culprit
is the new emacs or mh-e code.
