So the bad changeset is http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=35840ab189595b817fa8b1a1df8cc92474a7c38d

I read that code (out of context: I'm not familiar with Xorg code). It kind of looked as if things with obvious allocation potential were followed by asserts to check that the allocation worked. So why are we observing SIGBUS rather than assertion errors? If allocation failure is possible, even assertion failure seems harsh (but at least more diagnostic).
