Hi,
This seems to indicate a GPU programming error with the driver, rather than a problem with the game; no use of the OpenGL API should be able to result in a system component crashing or a system lockup. I would recommen reporting this to the Mesa community instead.
Why the F did this thread get closed so quickly? --'
This issue report was closed due to it being an obvious driver issue, as stated by @Plagman, with a good suggestion on how to proceed.
I thought it was obvious too, but there are people not using radeon and experiencing this as well (they use Intel GPU's). Other numerous TF2 players confirm that the game is leaking memory. So it's not just radeon.
See what I'm saying, @davidw-valve ?
If you look at the image provided by the user, you'll see the following line:

Here you can see the user has an intel GPU: http://steamcommunity.com/app/440/discussions/0/368542585857761697/?tscn=1461900320#c364040166674007991

This is saying that i965_dri.so code segmentation faulted, which crashed hl2_linux, which is a driver bug.
Out of curiousity, are you using DRI2 or DRI3?

That was not my crash, though :)
I was using DRI3. But now it doesn't matter, I'm back on Windows. I can't expect neither VALVe or Radeon developers to fix their crap anymore. On the VALVe side there are poor ports with tons of issues that are years old; on the Radeon side they keep introducing bugs (like this one -probably-, the X-Plane one, the power management which makes my screen flicker). 4 years after the release of Steam for Linux and we still have these kinds of issues. When I first installed Steam on Linux (October 2012) I though we would be able to compete whith Windows in the game scenario. Clearly I was wrong ;-)
This Freedesktop Bug report seems to be related: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95308
Nothing extracted yet.
Team Fortress 2 have a big problem with Radeon/Mesa.
After playing for a few seconds on turbine (with lots of engineers, which seems to cause the crash), the system suddenly freezes.
Happens on Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, and openSUSE (all distros I've tested).
