Has anyone else experienced this problem under GL on an RS6000 (mine's a model 530 with 24 bitplanes plus 24 bit Z buffer running AIX 3.1 3003)? A perfectly normal call to winopen() will dump core upon random invocation. Invoke the program again and everything works perfectly. The code runs like a champ on an SGI. I've had this problem on several applications, so I have a hard time believing that they're all broken in exactly the same way. Looking at the dumps tells me next to nothing, since everything that I am responsible for seems to be working correctly Any theories? spl (the p stands for perplexed) -- Steve Lamont, SciViGuy -- (408) 646-2752 -- a guest at network.ucsd.edu -- NPS Confuser Center / Code 51 / Naval Postgraduate School / Monterey, CA 93943 "When people are programming virtual 5-D webs of glowing spidersilk by pure thought power -- there will still be hackers."

Bad form, I know, to follow up one's own posting, however, a small clarification is in order. One email correspondent thought I meant I was calling winopen() with no arguments and that was what was causing my problem. That isn't the case, I'm calling winopen() in the form of winopen( "foo" ); as advertised in the man page. This is the form that breaks. :-( spl (the p stands for pixelated) -- Steve Lamont, SciViGuy -- (408) 646-2752 -- a guest at network.ucsd.edu -- NPS Confuser Center / Code 51 / Naval Postgraduate School / Monterey, CA 93943 "When people are programming virtual 5-D webs of glowing spidersilk by pure thought power -- there will still be hackers."
