Eric asked why I was fixing this here instead of in GetGlyphs
itself. The reason is that the underlying bug is in libXfont, and while
the rest of the server has bugs because of that, they don't crash as a
result.

I've also sent a bug fix for libXfont that will make the rest of the
backends work correctly for this case.
