I already started working on this. (A friend just got hired by Moz and
I owe him one.)

Basic analysis: The crash is in the Mesa-side DRI2 handler for
flushing the frontbuffer. There's a segfault of very weird
composition. The BT (which I can get if needed) goes back to
glXMakeCurrent, and it looks like glXMakeCurrent is unbinding the
current context, which is calling the DRI2 unbind callbacks, which
calls frontbuffer flush, but part of the DRI2 context is screwy and we
get a segfault.

There's a couple problems though. The frontbuffer flush usually isn't
fatal; it only kills us about one in five times. Sometimes it dies on
the very first test, sometimes it dies halfway through the suite.
There's no rhyme or reason to it.

If you've got any ideas, I'm open to them. I bugged Kristian and he had no idea.
