By "glitches" do you mean texture flickering and the like?
For example, when you jump the sardine outline flickers.

I've seen something on x86.  I mention it because I don't see a Bug.   
Maybe they are related and a Bug needs to be opened.

If you set the environment variable R200_NO_TCL to 1 it would go away 
because it's using the software TCL.  Maybe the old snapshot was using 
software TCL?

Other symptoms:
bzflag  - fire a shot and the walls flicker like it's World War 3
Neverwinter Nights - "terminator syndrome" (characters all look like the 
T-1000 shifting if Env. mapping is enabled)

I have a Radeon 8500LE (R200) on a VIA chipset board with an Athlon XP 
1800+ (1.5ghz).

Using gentoo with ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86".

I've also noticed that it looks like the "full screen" GL window for 
screen savers is off by 1 pixel.
There is pixel garbage around the bottom and right sides of the screen 
if I use the OpenGL screen savers.

My apologies if these problems are already fixed in the CVS, I haven't 
had time to experiment with downloading/compiling DRI out of CVS yet.
