Hello Axel !

pfBillboard does not support fluxed geosets.

The ``working'' version that you observed is probably drawing the same Fluxed
copy of the geoset over and over. It gets written over as you modify the GeoSet
so it isn't MP-safe. We plan to address this after the 2.4 release.

You should be able to use a pfFlux for color attributes on a non-fluxed geoset.
If this crashes on O2, please send me a short sample code demonstrating the
crash.
