Problem with off-screen render

I'm not able to get off-screen rendering to work consistently.

I modified the main() method in the 3D canvas class.
The following code hangs on the line "display.getImage(true)".
Interestingly, it worked once, and then started to hang on subsequent
runs of the same program, so I'm wondering if there is some
resource that I need to get rid of properly.

I'm doing this on Windows with Java 1.4 and Java3D 1.3.1 and
the latest pre-compiled visad.jar file from the SSEC website.

thanks
