[Fedota 4] Some programs crash
Status: Beta
Brought to you by:

A few programs---notably the OpenGLEAN "fonts"
demo---can induce
RedHat GNU/LINUX ("Fedora Core 4" for the i386, running
on an AMD64 with a Radeon 9200SE) to crash the application.
There are a few odd diagnostic messages being printed
such as
"Vertex3f: 1" and "Normal3f: 1". These are presumably
coming from the X server or OpenGL.
Probably not OpenGLEAN issues, but I'll open a report
about them for now, and at least think about them.

I'm not able to reproduce the crash with
.../progs/demos/fonts/fonts, but I can reproduce the
diagnostic messages with ...progs/demos/unmanaged/unmanaged.
This seems to depend upon having a -direct rendering
context (so if you run with -indirect, there is no problem).
This suggests that at least some, if not all, of the bug
report is over a bug in the RedHat DRI support for ATI's
Radeon 9200SE.
