GLUT hangs for about 1 minute
Post: #1
Ok, here's something I discovered today. My Mac OS is 10.2.8.
Connect to a Windows server. Then turn the server off. Applications which use GLUT will then hang for about a minute when they start up. The solution is to disconnect the server.
I was relieved when I realised it wasn't my code at fault but it's still a bit disturbing. I googled for this problem but nothing turned up. Has anyone any experience of this one ?
Cheers!

I've had problems when Windows servers crash in general - not just GLUT. I had to reboot my Mac to clear up the problem.
Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath the clear blue sky?

Yes, I've had a similar hang problem, but not from logging on to a windows server. I wasn't able to reproduce the hang, but a restart caused it to go away. it seemed like it was in an odd kind of thread lock.
