linux 3d applications keep crashing

[Alexander Best]

sorry to dig out this old thread. i just wanted to close the discussion with
the following statement:

the problem still exists. the problems mentioned in connection with the nvidia
drivers were however just the symptoms of a more complex problem which is
related to linux threading models. installing the latest nvidia drivers no
longer causes this problem since the driver picks one of 2 available libs
(which are being compiled against different threading models).

further discussion concerning this problem should happen either under
freebsd-emulation@ or as a followup to this PR:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/133144

again: the problem is not related to the nvidia drivers! the driver was merely
a victim of a linuxulator bug related to linux threading! although the nvidia
drivers no longer segfault the problem still exists under 8-STABLE and
9-CURRENT!

cheers.
