Oh, the configure script doesn't detect thread support so you're
compiling the non thread safe code in the GLX backend, which I've
obviously failed to keep in sync. I've fixed this now and if you grab
the latest CVS version, you should be fine. However, you might want to
have look at why thread support (XTHREADS in Xlib) isn't detected.

Thanks.
