This crash is caused by a bug in the AMD/ATI fglrx driver, it is possible for the Java OpenGL binding to workaround the issue:

Java 3D is using an internal version of JOGL 1 for its OpenGL bindings that is unmaintained after Oracle have stopped development. Unfortunally this internal JOGL 1 version do now know how to workaround the latest fglrx driver limitations.

Fixing electric would require that Java 3D itelf gets ported over to use libjogl2-java JogAmp JOGL 2 that is actively supported.
hharrison is working on a JogAmp JOGL 2 port of Java3D here:
https://github.com/hharrison/java3d-core

By using hharrison's Java 3D work that uses JogAmp JOGL 2 then it would be possible to use the
upstream libjogl2-java fix for the AMD/ATI fglrx crash:
