All the binaries in the vice package crashes with SIGSEGV at XQueryExtension()

[LGB [Gábor Lénárt]]

It seems, with Ubuntu 17.10/Wayland/64 bit at least, _all_ of the emulators within the VICE package (emulators for various Commodore 8 bit systems) crashes. All of them seems to be connected with XQueryExtension() somehow. I've tried x64 (Commodore 64 emulator), xvic (Commodore VIC-20 emulator) and xplus4 (Commodore Plus/4 emulator). With gdb, I got the followings (I didn't marked vice package as the bug "source", since it can be some other library as well or so):

Now I've compiled VICE from source ("manually", with tarball from the official site etc), and the same result, crashing, with gdb reports things like this one (note, it was tested on two different machines running 17.10 both with official vice package and my own compiled one, always things like this I get):

[LGB [Gábor Lénárt] (lgb)]

It seems there is something wrong with GLEW. At least I reported to the issue to the VICE team, and:

https://sourceforge.net/p/vice-emu/bugs/964/

[LGB [Gábor Lénárt] (lgb)]

It seems, the problem does not shows up if some compiles vice without gtk3 UI.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Tommy Vestermark (tov)]

I can confirm, that the VICE binaries crash when running from the default Wayland session in 17.10. If logging in with an X.org session they will run OK.
