The BadLength error can only happen when you're using indirect rendering
and to get reasonable performance out of Xgl you want to use direct
rendering. So if you're getting that error you might be using the wrong
libGL.

Is this a 64-bit machine? glcore in CVS version of Xgl is currently
broken on 64-bit machines and could be causing memory corruption. You
can try my tarboll if this is the case.

If it's a 32-bit machine and you're not using LD_PRELOAD but still
getting the glibc detected memory corruption error the problem might be
in Xgl. If you could send me a stack trace that would help a lot.
