Bug#560126: xserver-xorg-video-radeon: Launching GL Apps Corrupts System

	Further information:

	- An extended 'smartctl' test revealed no errors.  So it's probably
	  not the disk.
	- 'debsums -s' reported errors for a couple of files in OpenOffice;
	  everything else was fine.

	I also did some fiddling with options in xorg.conf this morning.

	Setting AGPMode to 1 does not improve behavior.  Setting
AGPFastWrites to False does not improve behavior.  The system still goes to
pieces when GL kicks in.

	Setting DRI to False improves things -- GL acceleration is disabled,
but the system remains stable.
