[GRASSLIST:3395] NVIZ segfault

[Carl Brown]

I saw it with the 5.03 debian package, now I'm still seeing it with 5.3-cvs. 
I thought this had been fixed years ago:

This suggests a video driver problem as a possible cause. 
Video in this system is a Matrox G400, 32MB.

Here's a test run:

GRASS:~ > nviz el=gdaltest


Version: @(#) 5.3-cvs (2004)

Authors: Bill Brown, Terry Baker, Mark Astley, David Gerdes
        modifications: Jaro Hofierka, Bob Covill
