$ chmod 000 /home/thala/texmf/fonts/fffctx-fonts-for-testing/
$ mtxrun --script fonts --reload
resolvers       | trees | analyzing 'home:texmf'
/home/share/texlive/lastedition/bin/i386-linux/mtxrun:479: cannot open /home/thala/texmf/fonts/fffctx-fonts-for-testing/: Permission denied

and it stops doing nothing else.

ok, but  as far as I can see it's not a crash, 
it's just an error like "open file foo"  when  you have not the right permissions on foo.
In other words: mtxrun  doesn't have  the right permissions in that folder so it' correct that it stops
*and* exits. If it stops and hang forever, of if it stops with a seg. fault,  then it's an error,
