Does it lock up if you don't move the mouse? Does it happen with SW
cursor or no silken mouse?

I suspect the problem is that this is on the vbo-0.2 branch. Can you try
a commit from before or after its merge? Use

git-reset --hard <commit hash>

with the bisect branch checked out. gitk is nice for finding a suitable
commit.

I guess this could also be a symptom of the lockup.
