This is on the following graphics card on amd64:

vgapci0@pci0:3:0:0:     class=0x030000 card=0x10022f43 chip=0x95cc1002 
rev=0x00 hdr=0x00
     vendor     = 'Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI'
     device     = 'RV620 [ATI FireGL V3700]'

I'll run the test again today or tomorrow and see if it still happens.
