Bug#439973: boson: 439973: test application

thanks

IMO this indicates a bug in glGetString in mesa on amd64.

On i386 this program just prints "(nil) 0.000000", while on amd64 it
segfaults in glGetString. I'll file a separate bug on mesa about this.

#include <GL/gl.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
	const GLubyte* extensions = glGetString(GL_EXTENSIONS);
	printf("%p %f\n",extensions);
	return 0;
}

This hacky patch prevents boson from crashing and makes what happens on
amd64 equivalent to what happens on i386 (returning zero extensions):
