This problem starts when I call eglCreateContext in following way into 
"simple-egl" app:
     window->egl.ctx = eglCreateContext(window->egl.dpy, NULL, NULL, 
context_attribs);

So in this way, I got a segfault into /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so library.
(Unfortunately, I can't provide any backtrace.)

Also, I'm using an older version (9.1.1) and into eglCreateContext 
function, RETURN_EGL_ERROR is not called.

    if (!config) {
       /* config may be NULL if surfaceless */
       if (!disp->Extensions.KHR_surfaceless_context)
          RETURN_EGL_ERROR(disp, EGL_BAD_CONFIG, EGL_NO_CONTEXT);
    }

Another appropriate fix, can be seen into commit: 
4b17dff3e5128bef67ea79d20624e878c3b48729, but not sure what really 
involves this change.
