The latest version of HarfBuzz is 4.2.0, although the chances that
it's their problem are not great.

Can you provide a recipe, as in: what file or URL to visit and/or what
text to insert before starting the zoom commands?  Also, do you zoom
in and out repeatedly, or just zoom in that many time?  And if it just
takes a small number of zoom commands, why do you say it takes half an
hour? what else needs to happen during that time to see the
problematic display?

Thanks.
