Nvidia driver 361.28 makes programs crash

[ambrop72]

Programs crash at startup or exit, e.g. some XFCE programs (e.g. Thunar, xfce4-terminal) crash on exit only possibly after forking off a child and trying to exit, and others (e.g. VLC) crash on startup. This must be related to Nvidia drivers, the issue does not appear when using Nouveau. It is probably a regression from 358.16 -> 361.28 (5b3c61e) but I didn't verify yet.

Backtrace for xfce4-terminal (crash on exit after fork):

And indeed reverting the 3 latest commits for nvidia-x11 resolved the issue for me (bringing the driver back to 358.16).

git revert 36bad18d574305b6a99afb5b9bf59361e4883e14 8c6cf0ca7ca86e48891076b05444846174a36d1e 5b3c61ea5feaffb37546cf35bccf838c4534d678

The GLVND libraries do work, but you must create version symlinks to specific libraries. The libraries being libGLX_nvidia.so.0, libEGL_nvidia.so.0, libGLESv1_CM_nvidia.so.1, libGLESv2_nvidia.so.2, & libGL.so.1.

Fixing this will resolve the random segfaults you are encountering when libEGL looks for the library named with a specific version that doesn't exist at runtime.

I believe this single revert I did is enough to "fix" the issue.
