I'm going to go out on a limb and speculate that this might have
something to do with DRI.  The only way we'll get to the bottom of this
is if you can bisect it, I'm afraid. 
http://www.landley.net/writing/git-quick.html has some tips.

If you do do this, then please cc the patch authors and sign-offers and
the reelvant mailing list (dri-devel@...ts.freedesktop.org?) on the
reply, thanks.


Am I correct in believing that this is a post-2.6.33 regression?
