Hey there,

we've seen a crash in nvd3dum.dll on a particular PC. After DebugGL it is clear that there is an uncatched native OutOfMemoryError. The software runs some times at the edge of the 32 bit memory area. That means there is no native memory left for Threads, windows and so on. We've handled them all to ensure software stability. Unfortunately, jogl doesn't expose the excpection in standard mode but it carshes somewhere deep in nvd3dum.dll when openeing a new window. I think this behaviour is just a driver issue with other graphics cards it is probably handled better and there are just graphics artefacts.


I don't really like to use DebugGL in release mode. Is there another option to force jogl to throw exceptions in low memory circumstances?

kind regards
Matthias
