[Chimera-users] Segmentation fault when issuing chimera command

[Greg Couch]

I am interested in the whole output.  Not all of it is necessary -- I'm 
mostly interested in the lines that start with OpenGL and in the table 
at the end that describes the framebuffer configurations that are 
supported.   It's easier to just send the whole thing.
