Please don't put error messages like this in Mesa.  If you're putting in
code that you know has a bug, submit a bug report AT THAT TIME.  Put a
link to the bug in the message.  Searching the bug database, this bug
has been reported at least 5 times.  It has been reported twice in the
last month...over a year after it was fixed.

Had the author of the error message submitted a bug and put a link to
that bug in the error message, those users would have seen that the bug
was already fixed.  They would have gotten a fixed version of Mesa and
been happy.  We would have not had to reply to their bug report and been
happy.

Rant done.  Thanks.
