Thanks for your bug report. As I noted in the Debian bug report, I am unable to reproduce this on a machine with an Intel graphics chip using the same DRI driver. This may be specific to a particular piece of hardware.
Also note this mesa upstream bug report that may be the same problem: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36193 ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #36193 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36193 ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #743885 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=743885 ** Also affects: octave (Debian) via http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=743885 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1313952 Title: octave-cli: ../../../../../../../src/mesa/drivers/dri/i965/brw_eu_emit.c:267: validate_reg: Assertion `execsize >= width' failed.
