   This looks like the bug we ran into with Matlab where the Xnewt

   they won't tell me the ID.

On a somewhat related issue, Maple 13 (a symbolic math app) has a new
graphics engine that relies on opengl, and it painfully slow on Rays.
(It also crashes Secure Global Desktop.)  Is there anything to be done
that helps?  A Maple example illustrating the performance problem is

   plot3d(x^2+y^2, x=-1..1, y=-1..1)

Now try to rotate using the mouse.  We're using Maple 12 as a
workaround.

Config: Solaris/x86 on X4200, displaying Maple from an X4150 running
Linux (Maple is not available for Solaris/x86), SRSS 4.1.

On the positive side, Solaris/x86 does not appear to have the problem
with Matlab experienced by SRSS on Linux.
