Maybe we can get to the bottom of this one. Try the debugging command
line switch -g and see what it prints out when you do a mouse spin. It
should spew all sorts of stuff to the console window. Look for pdn(x,y)
and pan(x,y) to see if there's anything fishy there. I'm almost willing
to bet glutWarpPointer(x,y) doesn't work on the Mac version of glut.
It's supposed to move the invisible pointer back to the middle of the
window whenever it gets more than 10 pixels out. This fixed a problem
where the object would stop spinning when you moved the pointer outside
the window, but if glutWarpPointer doesn't work then the (x,y) coords
will move further and further away from the center of the window, and
further from where I think they should be, causing the model to spin
into never-never-land.
