Like, I said, just wants to argue. Not interested in understanding. ;)

heh.

The GPU crash has been both acknowledged by Apple product development and by LL, but the LL code needs to be fixed for it to work. This crash is clearly related to memory management both on the GPU and on the main system.
Except that it isn’t related to memory management at all. It’s an alpha sorting bug in Apple's OpenGL implementation. The more you know! 

One popular viewer compiled with the old GCC could not start at all. 
This isn’t new, and it’s not related to the viewer as much as “One popular viewer” has an apr lib with some really janky black magic to workaround Apple’s failure at POSIX adherence.
