Resurrecting stale thread because it is unanswered and still relevant...

This appears to happen when a gl error occurs in the init() method. Instead of giving a relevant stack trace it ends up becoming obfuscated by JOGL.

As a workaround, I found that invoking my own flavor of init() method from display() on the first invocation of display() does roughly the same thing, minus the stack trace obfuscation.
