    Software Center error description from apport is:  software-center crashed with SIGSEGV in __cxa_allocate_exception()
    WORKAROUND for the software-center crash:
  
      Launch Software Center from the command line as:
  
         LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 software-center
  
    For more details about the software-center crash, please see bug 731724.

    The package libgl1-mesa-dri in Intrepid seems to have been compiled with the option --enable-glx-tls. This triggers a bug in src/glx/x11/glxcurrent.c :
    The TLS variable __glX_tls_Context is compiled with the TLS model initial-exec, which is only ment for executables. Used in shared libraries, it can break TLS usage in other shared libraries.
    One example is when libGL is linked beforce libstdc++ in another library, which is then loaded via dlopen(). In this case, the TLS variables in libstdc++ aren't properly initialized, and it will segfault when trying to allocate an exception.
    I think there are 2 possible solutions:
    1. Do not compile with --enabgle-glx-tls
    2. Patch mesa to remove the tls-model attribute. I assume this will eat up the performance gain of TLS, since initial-exec is meant as an optimisation for apps not using the GL over dlopen directly or indirectly.
