I am seeing some weird/bad behavior from OpenSG 2, and I am trying to figure
out if it is coming from the clustering or from the VRML loader. Screen
shots of what I see are here:

I took these while running debug versions of testClusterClient and
testClusterServer built with Revision 703 of the OpenSG 2 trunk with
multicast. The command lines were as follows:

   testClusterServer -m -w Server1
   testClusterServer -m -w Server2
   testClusterClient -m  -f ~/.../Tutorials/Data/tie.wrl Server1 Server2

The most obvious problems are inconsistencies in material properties and
geometry popping in and out, all of which occurs on the server side. In
opensg-cluster2.png, if you look closely at the Server2 window, you can see
that part of the left wing is still there, but something is wrong with the
way that it is rendered.

Would this be a problem with the clustering or the VRML loader? So far, I
only see this when using tie.wrl from the OpenSG 1.8 source tree, but that
is typically the model that I use for testing. The basic torus always looks
fine. I have OSB models generated from OpenSG 1.8 that I could use, but a
lot of warnings are generated when they are loaded. The warnings are from
NFIOBase::readFCPtr and NFIOBase::readFCFields, and they are about skipping
unknown fields. I do not know if those warnings might be a sign of other
problems that could occur. However, with the OSB files that I have tested so
far, I have not seen the behavior that I see with tie.wrl.
