By looking at your backtrace gives a hint that we may have a bug in jogl,
OR that mesa3d has corrupted the heap after the driver failed to initialize,
all we know is that we can see mismatch of malloc and free "a corrupt heap"
when we continue execution efter mesa3d failed to initialize.

I can reproduce this bug on a ODROID-C rev 3 and will check if we can safely detect that the driver has failed.

comments inline below:

Any ideas?

On the ODROID-C Rev 3 we have a similar crash scenario, that the crash trigger directly after mesa3d libGL has failed to initialize the GPU. crashes seen in the JVM is also an indication of a corrupt heap.
