By stop, do you mean core dump or just freeze ? Can you run with cvd/dbx can
you see what the stack trace looks like ? What you describe sounds like
something being done that depends on APPCULLDRAW being in the same process, for
example some GL calls that aren't in a draw callback and so would get called
from the DRAW process running MP. To look for that you could run with setenv
PFNFYLEVEL 7, note which processes run with which pid ( pf 2.2 should tell you
the pid of the app, cull and draw ). If you were to run ogldebug <your app>
then when ogldebug comes up it should tell you the pid making GL calls, you
might spot > pid doing this which would be bad.
One other thing to look at would be which GL you use, OCTANE/Impact are native
OpenGL machines, RE2 is native IrisGl ( although runs OGL pretty well ), do you
get the same results on the RE2 for the app compiled against OGL and IGL ?
I should add this to my email .sig but "check you have the latest patches" in
this case you should check the gfx patches and also the kernel rollup on the
RE2, see www.sgi.com/support for patchset info. If this is no help then keep
commenting stuff out until it's clear what stops the app running MP and post
details.
Cheers
Rob
