My mails triggered a lot of investigation, finally... Steve Langasek, with the help of a few other D-I developers finally tracked down the problem to the slang library, where Steve included the shaping code while he was doing the work for BiDi support in early June 2004.
After 1-2 hours discussion and hacking, Steve and Bastian Blank polished a patch to slang. The bug has been tagged "serious" and reassigned to the slang Debian package... This means that this bug is release critical and thus will be fixed. So, finally, the "Arabic crash" revealed a nasty buffer overflow problem. Interesting side effect of the little shaddas...:-) Thanks a lot to all people who cared about this...
