Hi !

I have Problems with the light_tool example from the Tom Gaskins Book 
"Phigs Programming Manual" (First Edition). The X-Server crashes when
I am trying to render the cylinder or the sphere. What's wrong.

The cube works fine. It uses:

    popen_struct( CUBE_QUAD );
        pquad_mesh3_data( PFACET_NONE, PVERT_COORD, NO_COLOR,
            &array_dims, (Pfacet_data_arr3 *)NULL, &vertices );
    pclose_struct();

The cylinder and the sphere :

    popen_struct( SPHERE );
        vertices.ptnorms = vertex_data;
        array_dims.size_x = NUM_LONG_POINTS;
        array_dims.size_y = NUM_LAT_POINTS;
        pquad_mesh3_data( PFACET_NONE, PVERT_COORD_NORMAL, NO_COLOR,
            &array_dims, (Pfacet_data_arr3 *)NULL, &vertices );
    pclose_struct();


Or am I using examples that are not "uptodate"? Is there a better way
to get rendered modells?

Please help
