I've been doing some research with the help of a friend (she's DD!). We compiled the source code from Scott Howard's ppa with DEBUG option and run it within gdb. The backtrace is the following:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00841446 in glMatrixMode () from /usr/lib/libGL.so.1
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00841446 in glMatrixMode () from /usr/lib/libGL.so.1

#3 0x08200e3b in WinEDA_PcbFrame::Show3D_Frame(wxCommandEvent&) ()

The 'glMatrixMode' call is in kicad/3d-viewer/3d_canvas.cpp line 541.

In kicad/COMPILING.txt, there's a comment at the end, that says they are statically compiling with a particular version of mesa. Perhaps that's the reason why the bug doesn't appear when I use the compiled version from upstream.

I'll try to fix this but if there's someone out there who understands mesa, any help will be appreciated.
