Bug Description

When passing the VM argument "-Dsun.java2d.opengl=true" openjdk fails with random SIGSEGVs. This is also a problem on openjdk-7. It also seems to behave differently depending on hardware configuration (on an ATI card it simply fails when the JVM quits, on nVidia is crashes randomly with an Error Code 139).

It also happens with and without compressed oops enabled. As a bit of background the file I am attaching comes from Linux Mint 13 *however* this problems also exists on Ubuntu 12.04.

Without the flag graphics performance on linux is very poor.
