It doesn't crash for me either (also linux), but I had a look at the
source, and I can imagine that the actual problem is in the following
segment (commented line).

char *FoFiType1::getNextLine(char *line) {
   while (line < (char *)file + len && *line != '\x0a' && *line != '\x0d') {
     ++line;
   }
   if (line < (char *)file + len && *line == '\x0d') {
     ++line;
   }
   if (line < (char *)file + len && *line == '\x0a') {
     ++line;
   }
   if (line >= (char *)file + len) {
     return NULL; /* TH: perhaps NULL is not equal to 0 on Mac? */
   }
   return line;
}
