I second the request for trying to get to the bottom of this issue. I
reported a few weeks back that both 0.9.8 and cvs would segfault on me
whenever I flew around the default San Francisco at night. It works fine
in that area on daylight, and works fine when flying at night in other
areas. I also am unable to use the newer 3D clouds, although shadows do
work.
I have a laptop with an ATI Mobility 9000 with 64MB, and this problem
has been around for the latest 3 binary driver releases for x.org (I'm
using debian sid / unstable).
I have started to lurk into the rendering code to see if I can spot
anything, but it's been quite a learning curve :)
We should be careful to keep issues separate. You are talking about
something that has affected you for both v0.9.8 and v0.9.9. There is a
separate problem for people that has just been introduced with v0.9.9 ...
And for what it's worth, people over the years have reported a variety
of glitches with ATI hardware running open-source drivers. That doesn't
mean you should run them, they open-source driver testers need bug
reporters too, but just understand what you are getting yourself into.

Curt.
