Someone with a similar problem ( divide by zero exception ) on a Radeon 9000
Mobility contacted be directly to seek help. I received an update that the
problem is cured with a video driver update.

The fact that also fgrun crash displaying the models is an indication that there
is a problem with the driver. fgrun uses only the plib loader and do nothing
fancy with pbuffers or the render to texture stuff.
