The 2.0 based OpenFlight loaders do extensive validity checking of texture
usage. This is because of semantic changes between IRISGL and OpenGL texuring.
Usages that were okay before may not be anymore. It also tests the Performer
api a bit more too.

This is a message from pfTexSpline(). Your control points are IRISGL style and
it would like you to use OpenGL style.

This is a notice from the OpenFlight loader. It means exactly what is says.
Polygon "p16" doesn't have a detail texture index. The texture it's using has
a detail mag. filter setting. There is no detail texture bound to it however.

You ran out of heap space. This may be true or more likely you are running on
IRIX 6.2 which has a shared memory arena placement bug. This can cause the
arena to be placed to near the heap, preventing reasonble heap growth.

It could be the result of several factors. You're databases might have always
had these inconsitancies. You are using textures whose attributes have changed
over time. You have upgraded some .flt files to V14.2 from older version and
your external reference override flags are not set right (see loader mode
PFFLT_OLD_STYLE_XREFS).
