Hi all,

I have got a strange behavior with perfly on multiprocessor machines. If the draw process is forked (APPCULL_DRAW), perfly freezes on the pink OpenGL Performer message, depending on the time the database takes to load. No problem with shinycow.obj, but it happens on town.perfly (on the second test machine, only on first startup, the next load faster due to disk cache). This doesn't happen when run with one process (-m 0).

Tested on the following systems:

Dual Intel Pentium III 933 MHz, 512 Mb RAM, Linux 2.4.22 (Slackware 9.1)
Dual Intel Xeon 3.2 GHz, 4 Gb RAM, Linux 2.6.9 (RedHat EL WS 4)

Regards,
