I idd a bdb trace a while back and it does seem incomplete probably
because something wasnt compiled with debug on.

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
0x00007f530e3d5077 in __GI_raise (sig=sig@entry=6)
    at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c:56
56 ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/raise.c: No such file or directory.
Continuing.
[Thread 0x7f53083d7700 (LWP 32676) exited]

Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
The program no longer exists.

Anyway, the cause is clearly glamor on r600g related as i have disabled
glamor and on exa i did not have any such issues.
Even with the newest xserver git build it does crash nonetheless.

last commit is 
glamor: Make sure glamor_egl_close_screen wraps glamor_close_screen
