[GRASS-dev] NVIZ crash info

[Michael Barton]

Here is some additional info on the NVIZ crash.

In the current version of GRASS, I can display a horizontal slice. BUT if I go to change the configuration of the slice (reduce it in the horizontal x or y direction or change the tilt), it crashes the GUI. 

Trying to display a vertical slice or isosurface crashes the display.

In r48000 (and maybe in r50000 too), I can display a horizontal or vertical slice and manipulate its position. However, attempting to display an isosurface will crash the GUI.

I want to try r47000, but have not had a chance yet.

But the problem seems to be getting worse over the past year--worked OK about 15 months ago, partly worked 12 months ago, does not work by 3 months ago and maybe earlier.

I tried compiling without building for OSX 10.6 (OSX 10.8 and python 12.7) and it is just as bad. I have not tried building for a single architecture (32 or 64 bit) yet.
