We're still at 3.4.2 (May 2001) which not only isn't the latest stable Mesa (5.0 was released last November), but isn't even the latest release of Mesa 3 (3.5 was released in June 2001). Because of a known bug in older versions of Mesa, ports based on plib (including flightgear, vamos and a couple of other simulators and games) fail with "ssgInit called without a valid OpenGL context" about as often as not (it seems to depend on the system configuration).
