This is a bit late now, nevertheless: I have built freeglut from source, and revision 1868 fixes the crash for me as well. The workaround with creating a dummy window is not necessary any more. It would be nice when new binaries could also be released in due time. Thank you very much John and also the Yade group, thank you Anton, Janek, Przemysław .

Hello, we have had the same crash with a GUI for Molpro. glutInit is called, but the windows are made with gtk ( gtk_window_new ). glut is then used to draw spheres etc (to visualise atoms, bonds). This worked with freeglut 2.8.1-8.4 in openSUSE-Leap-42.3-0 , but crashed from openSUSE-Leap-15.0-1 onwards, with freeglut 3.0.0-lp150.1.8 . It still works on Mac with GLUT.framework instead of freeglut. I was in touch with the YADE group, as I had made a workaround, to open a dummy window with glutCreateWindow...
