I rather doubt this is the same bug as I was experiencing, since I have a
completely different graphics chip (ATI R9100) and am using the X.org drivers
instead of vendor drivers.

However, this is as good a time as any to report that it's been a week
since I disabled DRI and I have not had any crashes since.  What do we
do next?
