Thanks everyone for the testing. It appears this is a known mesa bug upstream - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42538

It appears to be particular to sandybridge (and perhaps a specific sandybridge variant).

There are no workarounds we can suggest at this time, aside from not using the affected applications or games.

I don't think you'll find much value in doing further testing of xorg-edgers or other branches of mesa until we get word from upstream about possible patches. We'll try to get patched mesas available as soon as practical once a fix exists.

I believe a sufficient amount of analysis has been done, now it's just a matter of waiting on upstream. Knowing the affected games may well help upstream so feel free to test and comment here with names of other games which produce the bug.
