Do you have a support call logged for this with your local office ? If so can
you give me the call reference and the SGI contact you have ?

gGfx pipe hangs are of course only caused by some HW problem or by a bug in the
gfx pipe, even if an application does a very wrong thing then the pipe
shouldn't hang ( assuming the HW is OK ), in real life there are bugs though
and hangs do happen. I started adding some notes here about what can be done to
narrow down a problem like you describe but it was going to be too long to be
of interest to most people so to cut a long story short, there is plenty we can
do to track your pipe hang problems down, we've dealt with many of them and
they all get solved in the end :-)

Cheers
Rob
