I won't repeat a lot of typing which I have already done, here's a
handy link which explains the issue:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34858

Here's some random extra information (not necessarily on the page in
the above link):

-- uname -a:

Linux theferret 2.6.0-test9-gentoo #2 Sun Nov 9 15:57:51 GMT 2003
i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

-- gcc version:

gcc (GCC) 3.3.2 20031022 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r3, propolice)

-- glibc version:

2.3.2-r9

-- XFree86 version:

XFree86 Version 4.3.0
Release Date: 27 February 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6

-- Compiled from:

hugs98-Nov2003.tar.gz (source)

This problem did not appear in the Nov2002 sources, but then I don't
know if those sources had threading and hopengl support. I have tried
compiling using default xfree opengl headers and interface, and that
works fine. Maybe the fact is that the nvidia drivers just don't
support threading?

Thanks..
