In answer to your queries:

1. In this particular instance, I had the pointer tool selected, but I don't
think I had any points selected. However, when seeing this crash, I usually do
have one or more points selected, and the crash happens then too (while trying
to move, cut, copy or paste points). So, the crash has happened both with and
without any point selections.

2. I just tested a number of fonts in order to answer this. It doesn't happen
in every font. The fonts I see the instability in - STD and TTF alike - appear
to all have glyphs in one of the Private Use planes. Whenever I tested a glyph
in Plane 15 (where I've been doing almost all of my glyph design), the crash
happened every time. Testing glyphs in the BMP and SMP didn't seem to cause any
problem, even in unassigned codepoints and blocks (though I haven't tested the
BMP's Private Use Area).

3. The ./FontForge/prefs file is posted as an attachment.

4. The problem doesn't appear to be with a particular font; however, just in
case it actually is a font problem, I'll send you (privately) the font I've
seen the bulk of the crashes with.

Thank you very much for all your help on this. It's much appreciated :-)
