Performer will show two processes, one is a clock process which you
needn't worry about. If you fork PFMP_APP_CULL_DRAW you'll see 4 not 3
processes.

It's unlikely that Performer tragically exit unless you have a
programming error. You don't actually have the realloc problem now do
you? I mean you say you're happy this ISN'T happening...?...

Send me more on your other problem.

Cheers,Angus.
