There is a new crash in i915_dri.so after updating Jaunty to the mesa-7.4 packages. I'm encountering it using the online Java-based game "Runescape" (which uses JOGL -- Java OpenGL bindings).

Steps to reproduce (no Runescape account needed):
   1. Using Ubuntu Jaunty i386 updated to the mesa-7.4 packages, and the Intel Q35 graphics chipset (other Intel chipsets likely share the same issue).
   2. Visit http://www.runescape.com/game.ws?m=1&j=1
   3. Enable HD (High-Detail) mode if not already enabled. No need to log on, the crash should happen within a few seconds.

Attached is a backtrace after recompiling the mesa-7.4 packages with extra debug info (-g3). The backtrace was taken while using Sun Java JRE 6u12, but the Java version does not seem to matter.

This particular crash does not occur on another machine with an ATI graphics card, but other crashes do, such as when you move the Firefox window, or when Firefox loses focus. It is very touchy.
