It is. It first happens when tmb privately offers me to test glibc-2.16. Downgrading glibc to 2.14 reliably makes the issue go away. Of course, it could be a side effect of the new glibc exposing a bug but... There's nothing interesting in glibc-2.16 branch.

We might try to update again our mesa snapshot. There've been recent bug fixes such as for this crasher: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47375
