There is one font I could determine which is provoking crashes every  
time: URW:GaramondNo8-Ita:2001, a TrueType font from the urwfonts-1.41  
archive (having it since many years). You can find it here: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/ghostscript/AFPL/GhostPCL/ 
.

Another experience, which I could not reproduce, was:

	luaotfload | loading font: Garamond.ttf
	Bus error (core dumped)
	root 259 /\ l /Library/Fonts/Extrafonts/
	total 418560

	-rw-rw-r--  1 pete  admin    196588 28 Nov  2005 Garamond.ttf

	-rw-rw-r--  1 pete  admin    314476 24 Nov  2005 GenI102.ttf
	-rw-rw-r--  1 pete  admin    362664 24 Nov  2005 GenR102.ttf

So one of the Gentium fonts caused a crash.
