Can you tell me platform, card, etceteras?  That sounds like a bug, if
you've got a context you should be getting the glCheckError() function
running, but there is platform-specific code to guard against getting
protection faults if you call a function before there's a context.  I'm
not likely to get any time to work on PyOpenGL before the conference,
but it's beginning to look like I'll be spending at least one full day
of the sprints on it, so if there are things that need addressing, now's
the time to bring them to my attention.

Take care,
Mike
