They do that on machines with the Elite 3D graphics card, which is all
the Ultra 10s in the clusters as far as I know. Ultra 10s with
Creator 3D work fine, but that doesn't help you much.

We're about to open a bug report with Sun. It doesn't appear that
they already have a fix for this problem; I get the feeling that we're
in sort of a marginal group of users here, since it's a pretty
egregious bug. Anyway, I can't really give you an ETA until we hear
back from Sun.
