i915_program_error in lunching nightsade

I'm trying out Nightshade for the first time. I'm running Ubuntu 10.10.
I get two warnings during the configurations which do not prevent the creation of the executable. When running the program I get a Segmentation fault caused by: i915_program_error: Exceeded max instructions (283 out of 123)
I attach the details of the warnings and the final error. Tahnks for your help!
