Hi'all,

Is there any progress on solving the savageGetLock() (and most likely
related viaGetLock()) crash? This bug has been haunting savage and via
users for a long time now. My otherwise trusty Thinkpad T23's crash and
burn whenever some program tries to destroy a GL context. In free
software this can generally be circumvented by refraining from
destroying the context until the program closes, but in close
source/proprietary stuff (think Pro/E etc.) this is not possible.

For reference, I'm talking about these bugs:

http://www.google.se/search?q=savageGetLock+OR+viaGetLock+segfault+OR+crash
etc...

I have not hacked any dri stuff so it would take me some time to get up
to snuff wrt these drivers. If there are no takers I'd be willing and
hopefully able to give it a go but in that case I'd like some pointers
in the right direction. Someone somewhere surely has wondered about
these segfaults before... right?

Cheers//Frank
