Comment 48 for bug 368049

I've taken a non-commited patch suggested by upstream and applied it to jaunty's mesa 7.4 and using that combination I no longer get this crash. I've loaded DEBs with this patch (built for both x86 and x64) here:
http://temp.minimum.se/mesa_with_fixed_ati_bug/

It would be nice to hear if this fixes the issue for other people as well. Basically what you need to do is:
1. download the right DEBs for your arch
2. "sudo dpkg -i libgl1-mesa-glx_*.deb" followed by "sudo dpkg -i libgl1-mesa-dri_*.deb"
3. reboot the computer just to be sure everything reloads properly
4. see if the bug still exists and report back here
5. "sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx/jaunty libgl1-mesa-dri/jaunty" to revert back to supported distro packages
