Skype bi-directional video call crashes X server (xserver, mesa, drm, kernel from git, r600g+glamor)

Hello,
i have an issue with Skype lately (i compile mesa, kernel, drm, xserver from git periodically and i use a A8-6500 with its IGP with r600g and glamor). It crashes the x server if i use bi directional video call. It seems to work in one-way video. The x server restarts, but skype continues to work for about half a minute more, including sending video. One problem is that i dont see any errors in any logs, not dmesg or xorg log so i cant say which component is the culprit.

Now it seems that a similar issue existed in the past and it was related to some drivers that couldnt handle multiple xv instances (one for the received video, the other for the local video thumbnail). And there was a workaround of disabling the local video thumbnail which cant be done on the current Skype (4.3). The glamor xv reports 16 available ports though.

Is there any other way of diagnosing this error? Maybe i have some issue with the 32 bit driver installation? Although i had no problems whatsoever (gaming on Steam, vdpau etc works well for example) other than this.
