I think I've found the root cause of this bug. It looks like the GL context is not set up on the main thread. This leaves the main thread's info block null, which causes an access violation inside the ATI DLL when you try to call a WGL EXT function. More information is in the bug report at https://jogamp.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=480.

This one looks too hard for me to fix by myself, though  I've looked at the code paths involved, and there's no obvious way to get a context set up on it. We'll need to wait for Sven to do it so the fix makes sense with the rest of the code.
