I don't want to blame it without cause, but I have had the tear-drops
plug-in crash in unusual ways myself (not with PCB+GL). It is possible
that something got corrupted.

Did you recompile the plugin after building PCB+GL? - If not _bang_.

I've not personally done any testing between PCB+GL and the teardrops
plugin. There "shouldn't" be any difference with GL / non-GL, but that's
not to say there isn't.

That just plan sucks. I'm really sorry!
