That means the creation of part of the context (that part that is created
lazily instead of inside glXCreateContext) failed. This can happen if:

        1. you've created many pfWindows, each of which has its own GL
           context

        2. you've created, and destroyed, many pfWindows. this is due to
           a bug in Performer 2.0, wherein the GL contexts are not freed
           when the pfWindow is freed (which was actually to avoid a bug
           in the GL on RE).

Do you think your app is doing either of the above?
