That is most interesting; I am experiencing considerable difficulties on
my own desktop machine (and I first wrote the GL code!).  I don't get X
server crashes but the whole thing is terribly unresponsive and it is
quite unclear why this might be the case (there are no error messages
forthcoming).  I have some suspicions but cannot yet understand why the
suspect library calls may be causing a problem.  (Nothing to do with
glCallList, incidentally, but you never know.)

Could you let me know what your exact hardware and software
configuration is (run "glxinfo") as it might assist with investigations.
