That was easier than expected. I've got segfaults every single time I |
| 19 |
emerged mozilla-thunderbird. Both with kernel 2.6.26 as well as 2.6.27. |

Reverting back to the open source radeonhd driver made this stop. This |
| 22 |
is a serious issue because you'll get segfaults only if you're lucky. |

If not lucky, bad machine code could be produced which on Gentoo being |
| 24 |
source-based is the worst scenario imaginable. |
