Hi Christopher and info-performer recipients,

Thanks for your answer, I just want to comment some issues:

Thanks for confirming this. I tried single processing, and it worked fine on
Linux, but still crashed on SGI with Performer 2.5. I assume the problem may
be related to memory management. I have a hunch that it is dangerous to use
non-performer dynamic memory allocation even for things that are unrelated to
performer. Maybe someone can comment on this.

I actually looked at this example, but it does not go all the way. In the
example, a fluxed geoset is created with a number of primitives. The memory
for these primitives is allocated with pfMalloc so the primitives themselves
are probably not fluxed although I am not sure about that. However, the only
thing that is changed is the number of primitives drawn, i.e. an attribute of
the geoset.
