A while ago I sent the message below. I haven't received a reply yet, and
would still really appreciate one :-)
We've managed to isolate a quirk with this problem, however. It seems that
the nodes that we routinely fail to find all have eight-character node names.
When we reduce or increase the number of characters in the particular node
name, it is then able to find the node.
Perhaps the problem is not with PFFLT_CLEAN, but just the fact that eight-
character node names are getting munged when the database is converted to
the scene graph.
Any thoughts?

Subject: OpenFlight loader problems in Linux
The OpenFlight loader packaged with the Linux version of Performer 2.4.x
doesn't seem to acknowledge the instruction to not do flattening/cleaning.
pfdConverterMode_flt(PFFLT_CLEAN, PF_OFF);
pfdConverterMode_flt(PFFLT_FLATTEN, PF_OFF);
Despite how much I fiddle with the configuration of the loader (again, Linux
version only), it insists on flattening and/or cleaning the tree. I know
this because I wrote a small program that loads a database and searches for
a named node. Under IRIX, it finds the node, but under Linux it doesn't.
Anyone have a clue as to why this is or any solution? We've been able to
work around it so far, but it's getting annoying :-)
