This appears to be an exact duplicate of the bug 429794, which I just filed.

From the stack trace, I'm wondering if this is a bug in the nvidia-glx driver:

$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1
nvidia-glx-185: /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1

... but I can't select the nvidia-graphics-drivers-185 package, so I'm not sure if the correct people have visibility.

Ah, since this bug was reported on an Intel chipset and mine is on nvidia, it seems the theory that this is an nvidia-glx bug is not correct.

It seems like a calloc() call for 52 bytes should *really* not fail. Maybe this is a libc6 bug?
