Public bug reported: As of after updates at 2009-09-13 ca. 16:00, Xorg and anything using GLX (eg. glxinfo) crashes on startup. The only thing that seems to have been changed then is the upgrade of libc6 to 2.10.1-0ubuntu11.
Log of crashing Xorg run is attached. The corresponding gdb backtrace is: $ gdb /usr/bin/Xorg CoreDump ... (gdb) bt #0 0x278da3c0 in ??
