the dri drivers have a #define DO_DEBUG 1 line that makes debug code in. the patch in the ebuild makes the define 0 is USE=-debug, so that no debug code gets in.
Created attachment 81337 [details, diff] changes in the ebuild
Created attachment 81338 [details, diff] patch for crasher in Croquet this is the one I reported to freedesktop.org project
Aaargh: it was fixed one year ago in dri cvs (not in mesa 6.4.2 still http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/mesa/Mesa/src/mesa/drivers/dri/r200/r200_texmem.c?r1=1.11&r2=1.12 the explanation is that the usleep could corrupt errno, causing premature exit of the loop.
Fixed, thanks.
