Did you actually recompile glxgears/glxinfo with the new Mesa from
wip? I remember I had to tweak the packages to get this working - and
yes, I did have the same core dumps with them - you will get rid of
the dumps, but not from the problem - by 'env PTHREAD_DIAGASSERT=A
glx{gears|info}' .

After the latest build of MesaUtils I don't get that problem any more.
