The Severity of this bug should be changed from Normal to at least High, as it
causes both system crashes and data loss.  Perhaps it should be changed to
Blocking, as it is impossible to do any 3D graphics development on affected
systems. I develop apps that use 3D graphics, so I am blocked.  AFAICT, someone
with authority must do this.

After one month of tip-toeing around in my system, taking care not to use
anything that uses 3D, yesterday I "accidently" created a 3D plot; this bug
corrupted my file system, the computer crashed, I had to run fsck from a
liveCD. I am a scientist, and I need 3D capabilities.  I'm considering a switch
to BSD, but that sounds painful.
