Am I correct in thinking that you are running EGL?

That's my famous spider sense at work.

(Well... tbh, only EGL produces that error)

You'll want to download the latest version from http://egl.quakedev.com/ and check if the problem persists. If it does, report it in the EGL forums.

Can't help you much, I'm afraid. EGL is corrupting memory somewhere (writing before or, more common after a buffer's boundaries) but that could have a myriad causes. If you're technically inclined, you could try and debug it yourself: for linux, there's always old trusty gdb or valgrind; the debugger built into Visual Studio is pretty excellent when you're on windows.

PS: one thing you could try, if you haven't already, is downloading EGL from SVN and compiling it yourself. Lots of bugs in official releases get fixed in SVN.
