Hi, when running Perfly (or any of the Performer programs we've written)
for a certain length of time (about 10 minutes, give or take), the program
crashes with this error:

PF Fatal/Internal: : Numerical result out of range
PF Warning/SysErr(34): Error posting semaphore 248011 [9] in pid 2013
PF Fatal/Internal: PF_USPSEMA() errno = 0

(the semaphore and pid numbers are obviously different each time). This
happens whether or not I have set the _PF_SEMA_NEW_PARADIGM variable to 0.

System configuration:

SGI 330L with 2 P3/933, VR7 gfx, and 1GB RAM
Red Hat 7.2
Performer 2.4.2 (full version)
NVIDIA driver 1.0-1251 (same error on 1541 and 2313/2314)

Same error happens on this system:

Dell Workstation 420, 2 P3/1GHz, NVIDIA GeForceII/MX, 512MB RAM
Same OS, Performer revision, NVIDIA driver.

We've also tried with the full version of Performer 2.4.0 and the demo
version of Performer 2.5 and gotten the same result. As indicated we've
tried NVIDIA drivers 1241, 1541, and the latest 2313/2314 drivers with
no improvement. If we run on a single-processor machine, or in
PFMP_APPCULLDRAW mode this problem does NOT happen.

Any help with this issue would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!
