Well, I did a few experiments. When trying with glxgears, the same "low memory corruption" happened, but glxgears didn't crash and my root filesystem didn't break. It seems the scope of this error depends on how intensely 3D acceleration is used. Please see attached file. "Corrupted low memory" starts about line 180, a traceback is at the bottom.
