 I tried to recreate the compile options I used, but to no avail.
 
 I did look at the same part - in the earlier compile, the glEnd() and
 glDisable() calls that are inside and outside the loops, respectively,
 were right after each other, with no branch in between. In the new
 version, the glDisable() is much higher up in the code than the glEnd(),
 because the loop structure is different.
 
 Most mystifying.
 
 I did compile it with gcc 3.2 at first, and when that didn't work I
 installed 3.2.2 on top of it, and it produced the same results. I did not
 reboot the system in-between, but I don't see how that could have affected
 anything.
