Potential memory sharing conflict with OpenGL Viewer, WinNT

Hello,

It's wonderful that the OpenGL x3D view is run as a separate thread. I've
noticed however that if one is messing around with it (zooming, rotation,
etc) when the canvas view is updated, the CInt process seems to stop running
its program(seen by watching system cpu monitor), and it goes into never
never land. No errors, no messages or any kind. No root prompt back. But
the process will have halted because my cpu becomes idle.

Another troublesome bug is when the x3d view is first created. If you move
it before its done "working", or touch the canvas, the x3d view locks.

Is this something I should contact Bill Gates about?
