It happens with the 0.95 version to. Other weird things to note. When
the stencil buffer isn't disabled, gooble-dee-goo is drawn to the
screen. The gobble-dee-goo dissappears when the window is moved.

Do you check for the amount of VRAM installed before disabling the
stencil bufferr? If so, I was going to suggest that you disable the
stencil buffer at lower resolutions. 0.9.9b behaves badly at resolutions
<800x600. I haven't done the math or the experimentation to dertermine
how low I have to go. If you don't check the VRAM, then it seems silly
to make other Mac users suffer because of us old timers.
