Hi,

i updated my application from jogl 2.0 beta 10 to jogl-b18 (Windows x86). Now i got this exception:

javax.media.opengl.GLException: array offset argument "infoLog_offset" (0) equals or exceeds array length (0)
        at com.jogamp.opengl.impl.gl4.GL4bcImpl.glGetShaderInfoLog(GL4bcImpl.java:10178)

The problem has something todo with my GLCapabilities:

GLProfile glp = GLProfile.get("GL2GL3");        
GLCapabilities caps = new GLCapabilities(glp);
caps.setStencilBits(8);

If i remove the stencil settings: caps.setStencilBits(8) there is no exception and the application runs without stencil support.
Another solution is to activate the Stencil-Buffer and FSAA like this:

GLProfile glp = GLProfile.get("GL2GL3");        
GLCapabilities caps = new GLCapabilities(glp);
caps.setStencilBits(8);
caps.setSampleBuffers(true);

I'm pretty sure this is a bug in the windows implementation of jogl. Under macos everything works fine.
