Bug#739194: blender: Segfaults at startup on armhf

[Gunnar Wolf]

Subject: blender: Segfaults at startup on armhf
Package: blender
Version: 2.63a-1
Severity: important

I'm trying to test Blender's performance under an armhf machine;
sadly, whatever I do to try and start Blender up results in a
segfault.

Either starting Blender up with a file to process or starting it up
with no arguments results in an immediate segfault:

$ blender -b -noaudio
Segmentation fault

I will try installing the version in unstable (the system is currently
a pure Wheezy one). I'm not using a Debian-provided kernel, as I
understand support for the specific subarchitecture is not yet mainline.
