Er, that commented call to sys.setdlopenflags() shouldn't actually be
commented. :)
See the attached patch, which seems to solve both problems: the "failed
to bind GLXGetProcAddress" error is still suppressed, and my memory
corruption problem goes way.
The idea is to restore the dl flags after importing clutter. It may not
be the prettiest code. :)
Thanks,
Jason.
