Subject: nviz cutting planes freeze

Platform: Linux/Intel
Linux distro: RedHat
linux cpu: Intel (i486, i586, pentium ...)
Xwindows version: Xfree 4.0.x
Xwindows manager: GNOME
TclTk version: tcl/tk 8.3
grass downloaded at: Trento site
grass binary for platform: I compiled the sources myself
c compiler name: gcc

nviz freezes when cutting plane is on and an additional surface is added (for example there are two surfaces and one cutting plane and I do New surface, add a constant, it creates it and then nviz freezes all its windows - graphical and all menus)

The fix may be complicated, because there is obviously a problem to apply the cutting
plane to newly created surface. Quick fix may be just to give a message to user that new
surface cannot be added when cutting planes are on.

I can't reproduce the problem. Can you provide a specific test case?
Also, are you using software OpenGL, or a hardware-specific version?
(what does "glxinfo" say?)
