Comment 9 for bug 61303

More information: this bug is a close relation of
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5846
and possibly the same. A colleague of mine built libcairo with the workround
suggested there and found that firefox and other applications now ran without
crashing on 8-bit terminals. However, there were some issues with text
displaying strangely, so there is still work to be done.
