[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] mesa: loosen small matrix determinant check

[Brian Paul]

When computing a matrix inverse, if the determinant is too small we could hit
a divide by zero.  There's a check to prevent this (we basically give up on
computing the inverse and return the identity matrix.)  This patches loosens
this test to fix a lighting bug reported by Lars Henning Wendt.

NOTE: This is a candidate for the 8.0 branch.
