In my experience, it was the driver. I was running Ubuntu Linux on my laptop with my Ati Radeon Mobility x1600 and if I tried to use shaders in some way, PD would crash(ATI drivers for linux are, bad, closed source and open source versions all have their benefits and drawbacks).
If I run OSX on the same machine for example(which would be a hackintosh) the glsl shaders work very well.

GLSL shaders are getting some attention on the pd-list since they work pretty well in Pure Data + Gem.
a small addition to that: many hardwares do not support glsl. i don't know which part is the culprit, gem, the driver, linux in general. this means, although glsl provide cool possibilities, it's not very portable yet and cannot be expected to run everywhere.
(i can compile gem only with disabling glsl support)
