Helpful hint: a really easy way to do this on SGI's is to

    > setenv GLERRORABORT anything

(or the equivalent way to set an environment varible in non-csh
shells).

Then any time a GL error occurs, your program will abort(), and you can
use a debugger to get a stack trace.

Note, it is a terrible idea to use this in a production environment!
But as a diagnostic tool it's great.
