Now the new Mesa version (7.6.1) is available in Debian testing
(especially libgl1-mesa-dri 7.6.1-1) and indeed Plot3D does not cause a
crash any longer. However now I get the error:

Exception in thread "Thread-11" java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.wolfram.paclet.client.net.URLFetcher.run(Unknown Source)
failed to create pixmap
failed to create pixmap
failed to create pixmap

And I can only see the plot while rotating it. Otherwise nothing is
drawn.
