I forgot to add that there is another version of this application,
identical except that it is (partly) linked statically instead of dynamically.
Notably, the GL libraries are linked statically. That version doesn't 
experience the problems, suggesting that it is an OpenGL issue. To
run that version for comparison:

	add ac3d
	ac3ds
