This is the normal SSE test. The signal is caught by mesa. Just type
cont to proceed to the real problem.

If you ran install.sh only once per package you can run install.sh
restore to restore the original files. I have toyed with the tought to
not overwrite preexisting backup files on a second installation. That
would allow repeated installation without losing the ability to restore
the original state. AFAIK only driconf-related stuff is not restored at
all ATM.

If you feel like logging could be improved you're welcome to submit a
patch. ;-) I don't have the time to look into it ATM and as I don't use
snapshots myself the install script is always the hardest part for me to
test.
