Well, I really have no idea of Windows drivers but I do know that
under linux Mesa versions earlier than 4.x have some trouble with VTK.
In the mesa case actors will suddenly (pretty randomly too) disappear.
These problems have been fixed and shouldn't occur with recent Mesa
releases.  What I'm trying to say is that it is possibly a
driver/openGL problem.  So maybe upgrading/downgrading the s3 drivers
(if thats possible) is a good idea.
