(Get the code!)
Sorry for the delayed update...any dri patches I could find had no effect in our situation. Our crashes seem related to glx and libglcore rather than dri. Disabling dri in xorg.conf had no effect on our crashes, either, but disabling glx did fix the crashes - of course any sort of graphical performance was gone. :-)
For our machines, the only workable solution was to install the binary drivers from nVidia (many thanks to Alberto Milone and his "Envy" script). On both our GeForce MX 440's and our FX 5200's this eliminated all crashes, and also gave us a huge performance boost with 3D apps.
On our one Intel (i810 driver), we could not reliably reproduce the crashes (although we can on the nVidias with the nv driver), so I think this may be an entirely different bug.
This probably isn't much help for solving this bug, but I hope it at least helps a little. If I run into anything more definitive or helpful, I'll pass it along...
