Hmm, stack corruption and the backstrace appears to show it dying inside nvidia's libGL. Unless someone can reproduce with intel or ati this one seems like an nvidia issue.

[Travis Watkins (amaranth)]

Ok, all the duplicates have nvidia as well. Reassigning...

I can confirm this from duplicate

So far this bug only seems to affect Ubuntu 9.10. Has this been an issue in a recent version of Ubuntu,i.e. 10.10? Thank you.
