Bug#234062 blender crashes xserver
Hello!
Since upgraded to blender 2.32 my xserver crashes on invoking blender.
(I reported that as a critical bug#234062 against blender, but was told by 
the maintainer that it should'nt be blender's bug because this 
behaviour wasn't detected on a lot of other boxes.)
What I see on my screen after invoking blender:
	Fatal server error:
	Caught signal 11. Server aborting
		"
		"
	xinit: connection to X server lost.
The last message I can catch after invoking blender by
	blender -d 1>&2 2>blender.log
shows me the following in blender.log
	Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"
But DRI-support in the kernel isn't available for nVidia Riva, as I 
assume.
Box characteristics:
kernel: 2.4.24-ben1
XFree86 Version 4.3.0-2
