After some going through the first log I realised that the required
stuff must be missing from it, so I tried to get a trace with more
logging.  Unfortunately, running with +relay slows things down so much
that the server disconnects before I can get into the game, so it
doesn't get to the crash.  Is there some log level that will print out
the GL extension bits without all the other relay logging?

I'd be happy to have a go at this.  I could do with pointing to some
docs on the functions though (is this the entirity of PBuffers?:
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/ogl-sample/registry/SGIX/pbuffer.txt).
What sort of work is involved in actually implementing these functions?
I guess it's not just a case of passing through like the bulk of the
opengl functions or they'd be done already.

Cheers.
