Bug#439973: Bug#471019: libgl1-mesa-glx: segfaults in glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS) on amd64 when there is no GL context

[Brice Goglin]

According to upstream, this program isn't doing something valid. So I am
closing this bug and CCing the one against boson.

< bgoglin> before I report a mesa bug, could anybody tell whether it is
valid to call glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS) "without any GL context" ?
< nh_> I'd be extremely surprised if it were
< nh_> after all, if you don't have a GL context, how would anybody know
if you were even going to use direct rendering or not?
< nh_> last I checked, libGL wasn't psychic
<+idr> bgoglin: It is not legal to query the GL extension string without
a context.
<+idr> bgoglin: You can't make *ANY* GL calls without a context.
