I had to enable debugging in the Makefile:

#0  0x0804ab08 in make_rgb_db_window (dpy=0x0, x=0, y=0, width=100, height=100)
    at glbiff.cc:452
452       scrnum = DefaultScreen(dpy);
(gdb) bt
#0  0x0804ab08 in make_rgb_db_window (dpy=0x0, x=0, y=0, width=100, height=100)
    at glbiff.cc:452
#1  0x0804b09a in main (argc=1, argv=0xbfbfed3c) at glbiff.cc:604
(gdb) 

I ran this as root in this case.

Running as an average user now actually doesn't result in a core:

Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

Program exited with code 01.

I have no idea what this means.
