I will add a regression entry in bugzilla after I got the URL of that mail.
Hi!
No, I do not actively search for lockup bugs, but they seem to search me ;).

locks up hard when using desktop cube of kwin from KDE 4.5.1.
It happens within a few seconds to about 30 seconds after activating the effect with Ctrl-F11. Otherwise the machine seems to work fine so far - if that continues I do not have much of a problem with the bug
[...]
Upto now I did not experience a lockup except for above situation.
As I am in my holidays in Sevilla I will only care about bisecting when it rains three days in a row ;) - cause I insist on my holidays being holidays and so will only do light kernel testing ;). I wanted to report this nonetheless since at least on my machine this is really easy to reproduce.
I darkly remember that someone told me in another thread on how to reduce commits to bisect to radeon drm kms stuff. That might be a viable alternative. Ah, it was Ted in "stable? quality assurance" (Message-Id: 20100907025110.GD6134@thunk.org)
git bisect start 2.6.34 2.6.33 -- drivers/gpu/drm/radeon
Hmmm, I might try this.
But not today, its sunny here ;).
Ciao,
