I have further isolated the problem to the following call:
(font-info (face-font 'fringe))

If you start emacs and evaluate the above expression TWICE (not the
first time), you will get that crash (call to abort()) in
font_close_object. The objlist seems to be empty and it does not enter
the for loop. The following statement is a call to abort and hence, it
had to enter the loop. I am currently trying to understand the data
structures so that I can look deeper into it.
