If you're a user of a recent Linux (like Fedora), and you've experienced
crashes of the type:

Floating exception
~

when attempting to use any of IDL's OpenGL 3D stuff (like the Demo ->
Itools, for example), you might try the following:

setenv MESA_NO_ASM 1

which disables some specific ASM code in the Mesa library which was
causing these types of crashes for me. I use an ATI Radeon 7500 +
XFree86 4.3.0's radeon drivers. With this fix in place, it seems
stable, and is definitely much faster than software rendering. Give a
a try.
