The fix was trivial. Fundamental issue we encountered is communication:
"this is a known problem and reported a few times on IRC already."

If developers hanging on IRC are unable to fix a issue should browse git 
for mesa-lib to see who worked on it recently and report the issue to this 
person because he/she has the best knowledge about recent release and will 
know how to fix it.

But no for all this bashers here it is better to bash on dev later instead 
of leting him know asap about issue to fix this early. There is more fun 
for them this way.
