This is indeed pretty weird.  tbl2hex apparently hangs in some sort
of deadlock, here are the last few lines of:
strace ./tbl2hex ../Tables/en-nabcc.ttb:


open("../Tables/en-nabcc.ttb", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=20733, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fad5d349000
read(3, "################################"..., 4096) = 4096
read(3, " (12 45 7 )  #  71   G  latin ca"..., 4096) = 4096
read(3, "dus\nchar \\X5F (   456  )  #  95 "..., 4096) = 4096
read(3, ". The only exception to these ru"..., 4096) = 4096
read(3, "   #Hex    Dots       Dec Char D"..., 4096) = 4096
read(3, "~   no-break space\n\n# The nonbre"..., 4096) = 253
futex(0x142e76c, FUTEX_WAIT, 0, NULL

And here it hangs.

This is with only "--enable-standalone-programs" and I used glibc.
If I run the same command under gdb, it segfaults in strcmp().
There are those bugs where gdb makes them go away, apparently there are
also bugs which are triggered by using gdb :-).

I haven't tried this in a long time, I always used to link brltty with
dietlibc since that was way smaller.
