Bug#909015: abiword: Crashes on startup with GLib-ERROR

[Joachim H. Kaiser]

Dear Bernhard,

great work!  I have learnt something from your debugging.

So, the codeline in question is

context->glGetIntegerv (GL_NUM_EXTENSIONS, &num_extensions);

I have found the following comment in the web 
:

"glGetIntegerv is not returning garbage. glGetIntegerv returns either a good 
value, or it does not touch the pointed to address at all. The reason why you 
see garbage is because the variable is not initialized. This seems like a 
pedantic comment, but it is actually important to know that glGetIntegerv does 
not touch the variable if it fails."

Although I did not find this behaviour in the OpenGL spec, the corresponding 
coder seems not to have considered this, e.g. by setting the variable 
num_extensions to zero before the call.

Anyway, thanks for your efforts.

With kind regards -- Joachim
