this is in the manpage (near the end): The default shading model is Gouraud.

Look at the first line in the manpage:
pfShadeModel(3pf) IRIS Performer 2.2 libpr C Reference Pages
When it tells you that it the call is a >>> libpr <<< call and the type of the call
has to to with rendering. that you can be sure that it should be called only in the
draw process. If you're application crashes in multiprocess mode and runs when in
singleprocess mode, you probably tried to access the graphics context from any
non-draw process.
