Patch attached.

Upon further investigation it appears that this may only be caused by
certain fonts and/or certain characters. I was using Beams when the
crash occurred http://openfontlibrary.org/en/font/beams

I've tried running that with pd vanilla and extended and still get the
following error:
puredata: ../src/libtess/priorityq.c:164: __gl_pqSortInit: Assertion
`((((GLUvertex *)**(i+1))->s < ((GLUvertex *)**i)->s) || (((GLUvertex
*)**(i+1))->s == ((GLUvertex *)**i)->s && ((GLUvertex *)**(i+1))->t <=
((GLUvertex *)**i)->t))' failed.
Pd: signal 6
