Can you try any other script that creates buttons to try and narrow it down to 
this one script.

Tuhopuu is the experimental tree.  Major new features are developed and tested 
here before being moved to the blender tree.

Can you borrow a different video card?

There is also another XFree86 branch at http://dri.sf.net and some driver 
snapshots at http://dri.sourceforge.net/snapshots/
You should also check /var/log/messages for any warnings right before the 
crash.  You can redirect blenders output to a log file with 
blender > blender.log 2>&1
According to the XFree86 and DRI mailing lists, there are still quite a few 
people who's radeon's lock up.
Use SysRq-S, SysRq-U, SysRq-B to reboot.  Does an emergency sync, remount read 
only and reboot.  This will hopefully sync the logfiles to disk.

Sometimes you just hate computers. :)  My computer has a Voodoo3 in it because 
nVidia cards lock up 30 seconds into anything 3d.

--export-dynamic makes some python interpreter functions available when 
loading python modules from scripts. (ie import math)  Just in case anyone 
else is reading.
