I second that.
Due to complexity (Component space of an OpenGL Java application)
evidence from one platform is inconclusive.
It wouldn't be the 1st time that one (OpenGL) driver behaves very generous
to the application, i.e. tolerates pulled resources etc.,
where other driver are less friendly and simply crash *SIGSEGV*.
This is one reason we have to validate the JogAmp stack on our supported platforms
using a wide range of unit tests. Even this evidence only indicates
whether our software is sound, but is ofc not a proof.
A combination of unit tests which describe the proof (or attack - as you wish)
tested w/ 2-3 drivers and a (partial) code review may be best practice here.
