Everything nominal with the new bugfix, as expected :-)

failures / flushes:
0 / 475136
max retries:
38.512510 0
160.138951 6
232.302424 8
402.559573 11

No flush failures with 6 glxgears windows (my 1.6Ghz hardware was almost hung up by running them).

The 8,11 max retries happened when opening Firefox, not when running glxgears; now it really seems stable, my raw feeling is that the bug is totally fixed.

Thanks for finding it :)

Now I'll try if playing videos still triggers a hangup, or if it hangs after hours of uptime.
