Unfortunately the LTS version of Ubuntu (trusty) was updated to 2.4.60
several days ago without this fix.

I repackaged libdrm 2.4.60 with only the bug fix above and confirm the
patch above fixes the observed behavior in freedesktop bug# 89842/
debian bug# 789759.

I pushed the repackage to Launchpad PPA @ ppa:phurley/libdrm

Hopefully the Debian maintainer grabs this fix and updates the official
distribution version soon.
