JVM crash when loaded with VBO (Vertex Buffer Object) enabled

Loading Minecraft 14w29b for the first time, I checked the options menu to fine "Use VBO's" in the menu. I enabled it, to see what it did, in my singleplayer world. It crashed immediately; however, it did not generate a report, rather just closed and sent me to the launcher. I tried it again, and got the same result. I tried it twice with 14w29a, and got the same result again. Turning VBO's off makes the game run fine, no crash.
