No, I haven't. And I don't see any point whatsoever in doing that, because
considering that all the variations I've already tried so far haven't changed
the error nor the logfile in the least it should be plain to anyone that the
problem lies elsewhere. I'm a software developer myself, I do know how to
interpret and hunt down errors; continuing to assume the problem is my
installation at this point is way beyond clutching at straws.

Well, if you can tell me where to output stuff or send me a diff that
patches the driver I can give it a go. Best would be committing the
changes to CVS for potential future problems.

Hmm... you're running Xorg, I'm still using XF86 4.3, apart from that I
don't see any noteworthy difference. My kernel driver is a little older
(1.0-7167), but since I've had the exact same behaviour at least since
6*-versions (maybe 5*-versions, I can't say for sure when I first tried),
I really don't think that's it.

Mesa's libGL should be inactive, otherwise you'd be running in software mode.
Since I'm using Debian, my Mesa version is considerably older than yours,
though (4.1). Upgrading my system is pretty much out of the question ATM,
though; I could try installing an up-to-date Mesa from source, but I don't
think that'd work without upgrading the X-stuff as well, which basically
equals a complete system upgrade. I seriously doubt this problem is caused
by GLU anyway; doesn't look like it aborts because of tesselation gone bad
or something...
