Ah, m'okay... already had our own script but this works too :)

Hmm... apparently not. I was just thinking that it could be something
CAVElib specific as well, since we did a Big Upgrade(tm) (performer
2.4->2.5, CAVElib 2.7 -> 3.0).
I'm going to try to reproduce the problem with a Performer-only app.

We're running IRIX 6.5.13m on an ONYX2 with 4 IR2 pipes.
