I guess this means you are using the 3.2 release.  Maybe its fixed in

Well, this wont help but its worth knowing that there is another
problem with display lists when using VTK and Mesa on Linux( or maybe
all *nix?) systems.  Here too the problem is Mesa specific.  It has
been reported here:

I havent yet reported it to the Mesa lists (could you help with
this?).
