           Summary: Crash bug still exists in glx libs, 2 years after I
                    sent you a patch to fix it.
          Severity: critical
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: danmanj at gmail.com
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
            Status: NEW
           Version: 10.1
         Component: GLX
           Product: Mesa

Observe the saga of 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54372

Mesa libglx has a NULL pointer dereference bug, discovered by app developer.

App developer debugs into libglx, understands problem, prepares patch.

App developer sends patch to fix NULL pointer dereference to debian
x-strike-force, and freedesktop.org.

Nobody at debian or freedsektop.org ever fixes libglx, nobody ever even
responds to the patch.

App developer pings every 3 months for year, before giving up.

A year after giving up App developer tries latest mesa glx, finds the same TWO
YEAR OLD bug still exists.

Seriously? WTF? How many years until you apply the patch?
