Just making the prints conditional on debug mode is probably good enough for
the short term.  As is, it's nearly impossible to do any println debugging
from my own code.

I remember looking into this problem several months ago when I first looked
at gl4java.  At the time I didn't learn much about the problem (other than
where in the native code the prints come from and that the call that causes
them to be printed shouldn't be "failing".)

As for windows 2000, I've had good experiences with it so far.  I've used
NT4 a lot and windows 98 a good bit as well.  The only problems I've had
with 2000 so far are trying to use direct3d (using the microsoft vm's
jdirect interfaces) in full screen mode.  The results aren't very pretty...

Speaking of full screen mode (and not to intentionally change the subject:),
but can full screen mode be supported with gl4java?  Applets are nice, but
if a person were to write something like a "real" game they'd want
fullscreen support (so folks can do things like bump the edge of the screen
to scroll across the game space).

Thanks for you feedback,
