Dear Performer developers!
I've further investigated my problems of integrating a pfPipeWindow in my
graphical user interface. After I set the pfPipeWindow to
PFPWIN_TYPE_UNMANAGED the warnings from pfWindow::select disappeared, but
my application still crashes after some time. I noticed that there is a
memory leak of 1 KB per frame. This problem occurs with Performer 3.1 as
well as with Performer 3.1.1EA.
I've removed all unneeded parts from my test application and my final
runtime loop consists only of:

for (;;) {
  pfSync();
  pfFrame();
}

So I'm pretty sure that this is a Performer related memory leak.
This problem sounds exactly like the problem reported by Tiziano Diamanti
(Memory leak in 3.0/Windows too, Date: 02/12/2003 02:46:22).

Would you please make a statement whether there is still a bug in
Performer related to pfPipeWindow::setGLCxt()!

I've searched again my Performer installation, this function is not used
in any of the provided examples. If I'm doing something wrong and there is
no bug in Performer, could you please give me a small example code
listing how to use it properly?

Regards,
                     Peter
