[sldev] Particles in the new viewer.

[Second Life]

Last time I tried your viewer Nicholz, the "flashing particles" particle 
rendering bug was still there.

Have you done any looking into that? Has anyone? This is something that LL 
broke in 1.15 or something and should have been fixed by them LONG ago. But 
apparently they really don't care about it. Not sure how specific to a 
certain video card it is but I'm not the only one seeing it and it has 
persisted through several driver updates.

Its one of those really annoying bugs because, like the particles "running 
out" bug, it detracts considerably from the day to day visual enjoyment of 
SL.
