[vtkusers] OSX Freeze w/ VTK + Java Wrapping

[thornton at thunderheadeng.com]

I have Java Wrapping working for the most part on OSX (v 10.4.1), but I'm having
some strange system crashes.  I have included an example entry from my panic.log
below.

The likelihood of the crash seems to be related to the complexity of the scene.
What I'm drawing amounts to a rectangular region that has been subdivided into
cubes (10-50 blocks).  Crashes seem to only occur during redraws and are
particularly likely while I rotate the scene (with a mouse drag).  They
manifest as one of: screen freezes (system unresponsive), black screen (system
unresponsive), or the overlay instructing me to "restart my computer" in four
different languages.  I'm using vtk through a "vtkPanel.java" instance.

To my eyes, this looks like the driver for my video card (ATI Radeon 9200) is
the troublemaker, but that doesn't feel right since other non-VTK 3D
applications work just fine.  I have the most recent video card drivers.  I am
using the v1.4.2 Java VM.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on what's giving my radeon driver
trouble?
