Ilia, The problem is the following: This occurs only with index buffers that do not contain vertex index 0. The vertex fetcher operates in blocks of 8 vertices. Consequently, the last batch of 8 could access elements outside the range of the index buffer. There is a chance that those elements will be outside range / non valid. The 1st phase of the vertex fetcher replaces invalid indices with 0 (in later phases, the actual vertex fetch operation is masked). Vertex index 0 is outside the range of the copied index buffer, and we SEGV accessing indices with 0 index. The BaseVertex offset gets added to every index in the index buffer, so the 0 index will now point to the real beginning of the (copied) index buffer, instead of unallocated memory.
VBOs should be similar to DrawElement calls where we don't access client memory directly (ie. we copy the appropriate vertex and index buffers, which is the case that this fixes). What do you think?
