The backtrace seems to say that there was some X error:

  X protocol error: GLXBadWindow on protocol request 151
  Serial no: 4286
  Failing resource ID (if any): 0x3c001c5
  Minor code: 32

I guess we now need to understand what window triggered the "bad
window" error and why?

Bugs sometimes behave like that.  A different memory configuration or
something.  We might not understand until we debug this issue
completely.
