What's the stack trace from the crash, and how did you produce it?
That's a "can't happen" crash, except perhaps if you're editing your
preferences - the argument passed to "boldify()" should never *be* null.
(prefs.gui_font_name is initialized to point to a string, so even if
there's no font name in your preferences file, it should be set.)
