I hit this again with the same backtrace.

Is anyone looking at this?

Is there any information that I can provide?
Comment 3 Adam Jackson 2008-02-24 17:51:29 UTC 
You could tell us what you were doing that prompted this.
Comment 4 Eric 2008-02-25 07:31:31 UTC 
The only common thing across occurrences of this was that I was doing window management operations when this happened (maximizing windows, etc.).

Could this be related to this bug?

I am using an nvidia card with the nvidia driver.
Comment 5 Eric 2008-02-25 13:39:10 UTC 
Just hit this again today.  Problem seems to occur when maximizing an editor from within the eclipse IDE.

Comment 6 Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2011-10-15 14:01:59 UTC 
Please try with a recent server and an opensource driver (nv or nouveau).  If 
it is still a problem in that configuration, please reopen with a full 
backtrace.

Closing assuming that it is an nVidia bug.
