Well, most of the programs using our system *don't* use the GL library.
They generate the datafiles which are later displayed using GL calls.
Therefore, that cannot be the cause...  Perhaps I should clarify; the
person doing the testing was opening a wsh window (via her 'tools'
toolchest) and the error message appeared in the console window.

Any other ideas?
