Display corruption
This topic has come up a few times in the forum before without any response. I'm hoping that adding pictures will make it more clear what the problem is. Basically, after running a simulation for a long time, the display corrupts in a strange way, but the simulation seems to still be running fine. Here are links to two pictures from a simulation I'm running.
Start: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~schrum2/temp/start.gif
Corrupt: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~schrum2/temp/corrupt.gif
I know the simulation is running fine because it still outputs meaningful data to files, but it's annoying to not be able to see what's going on.
I only know for sure that this bug occurs in windows, both on XP and Vista. I haven't seen it happen on other systems, but that could be because I generally don't run simulations with the display for very long on other systems (I generally notice the corruption after letting something run overnight).

weird
I'm sorry to say I haven't seen this one before and don't have any idea of what it is.
Are there an OpenGL error messages printed to the output? Usually when there's an OpenGL-related display bug in breve they'll start to flood the output.

No Open GL errors, or any
No Open GL errors, or any errors for that matter. And like I said, everything seems to still be running fine. It's only the display that goes wrong, and only after running for a long time.
