My instincts say it's likely that "something else" changed on the system.
Maybe an updated OpenGL driver? Finding exactly where the crash occurs will
be a good way to narrow it down. Do a few things:
- turn your PFNFYLEVEL up to 7 (setenv PFNFYLEVEL 7 if csh/tcsh)
& see if this gives any clues
- run /usr/share/Performer/bin/rmsem (cleans up leftover semaphores)
just in case this is the overall problem (but performer would be
printing an error message telling you to do this, if it was)
- run perfly through the debugger (gdb perfly) & get the stack trace
for the crash..
