It's getting stranger and stranger.  This was exactly the problem I had 
before.  On my system, this problem went away silently when I made some 
(mildly related) other changes to rendering.  I have no idea what is 
going on.

I'll comment out double-buffering again (or make it a compile-time or 
run-time option).
