Error ouput from Civ4/Wine using Mesa 7.6

I just upgraded to Mesa-7.6 and since the upgrade, whenever I play the game Civilization 4 (running on top of Wine) all of the terrain in the game is black.  The previous version of Mesa I was using was 7.5.1, and I did not have this problem.  I should note that I also upgraded libdrm from 2.4.13 to 2.4.15 at the same time I did the Mesa upgrade.  I have attached the debug output from Civ4/Wine after recompiling Mesa with -DDEBUG, my glxinfo, and a screenshot from Civ4 showing the black terrain.  Here is the current hardware/software I have on my system:

Graphics Card: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
Mesa: 7.6
libdrm: 2.4.15
xorg-server: X.Org X Server 1.6.3.901 (1.6.4 RC 1)
xorg radeon driver:  6.12.4
wine: 1.1.33
kernel: 2.6.31
OS: Gentoo

I tried to run git bisect to find the cause of this bug, but I couldn't find the exact commit because some of the commits caused Wine to crash.  However, I still think I have some useful information.  Here are my results:

Civilization 4 running on top of Wine works as expected until this commit:

Starting with this commit, Wine crashes right after starting Civilization 4.  This behavior continues until this commit:

Starting with this commit, I experience the problem I originally described.  Civilization 4 starts correctly, but during game play all the terrain is black. The cause of this bug is somewhere between these two commits.
Comment 4 Maciej Cencora 2009-12-19 06:55:56 UTC 
Can you check if the bug is still reproducible on current master, mesa_7_7_branch and mesa_7_6_branch branches?
Comment 5 Tom Stellard 2009-12-20 18:50:04 UTC 
I am now using:
xorg-server: 1.7.4 RC 1
kernel: 2.6.32 with KMS disabled.
wine: 1.1.35
and the most recent git versions of libdrm and ddx.

I can reproduce this bug on the master, mesa_7_7_branch, and mesa_7_6_branch branches.
Comment 6 Tom Stellard 2010-05-31 14:21:04 UTC 
This bug was the result of a shader that was failing to compile because it had too many TEX blocks.  This was caused by the pair scheduler breaking up a large TEX block into several smaller ones.  I have attached a patch that fixes this bug.

This patch fixes civ4, but it could potentially break other programs.
