Re: [Caml-list] FreeBSD + lablglut + thread: bug or not bug

[Christophe Raffalli <Christophe.Raffalli@univ-savoie.fr>]

Complement:

GlSurf 2.0 that uses no thread works on my BSD Box (so it is not a 
problem with the NVidia driver for FreeBSD)

GlSurf 2.1 also crashes with vmthread ... but a bit later and this is 
more difficult to reproduce . (I can send the source if you want, but it 
is not ready for distribution)

I know that NVidia driver are not thread safe, but only yhe main thread 
does openGL call and it works for Linux.
