Queeg QGTriMesh copy ctor dups shader?

[Keith W. <kw...@cs...>]

I am trying to figure out if the Queeg QGTriMesh copy ctor duplicates
shader objects, or just references to a single shader?  It has this line:

mTriMeshData.triMeshAttributeSet = Q3Object_Duplicate(
srcData.triMeshAttributeSet );

The QD3D manual says that if the new object of Q3Object_Duplicate is a
shared object, then is ref count is set to one.  Now, Q3Object_Duplicate
is being called on the TriMesh.triMeshAttributeSet, not the shader per se.
I assume shaders are shared, but I assume that trimesh attributes sets are
not, so I'm unclear as to whether duplicating a trimesh a zillion times
fills RAM up with countless copies of an identical shader and a fairly
sizable texture bitmap...which is obviously not what I want.
