glxinfo crashed with SIGSEGV in __libc_start_main()

[mmomjian]

I know that this has been reported, but I have new information at the table that I think warrants a new bug.

I was running 8.10a5x64, with kernel-2.6.27-2. Everything was working fine. When I got an update to kernel-2.6.27-3, in a5, I updated, then rebooted to use the new kernel. When the system came back up, compiz was gone and glxinfo gave the same error as reported below. I moved back to using kernel-2, and everything was fine.

When 8.10a6x86 came out, I did a fresh install, and therefore my only kernel was -3. When I booted this, I got the exact same glx error that I did in kernel-3 in a5. I think this is suffecient evidence to finger linux-image-2.6.27-3 as the culprit for this error.

Here's what I exactly get when running glxinfo:
