I have disabled the gvl_align_data() function in 6.5. and 6.4, as
suggested by you. All it does is reallocating memory to the minimum
that is needed. Memory consumption might thus be a bit larger in GRASS
6 than in GRASS 7, but with regard to the ogsf lib it should work
nevertheless because gvl_align_data() does not touch the actual data.
Another possible source of bugs is the wxPython part of wxNVIZ because
it uses ctypes. Does it make sense to test the old Tcl/Tk nviz and see
if volume display works there?
