Comment 1 Kristian Høgsberg 2005-03-13 06:08:00 UTC 
This is not an error, this is how mesa probes that capabilities of your CPU. 
Notice the name of the innermost function in the traceback:

  _mesa_test_os_sse_exception_support

The exception is intentional and only shows up when you run the program under
gdb.  If the program also crashes when you run it outside gdb, and you want to
debug this, press 'c' to resume excecution.  The next crash should be the real
thing which you can then investigate.
