That is not impossible, but I really would like to get to the cause of
this problem.
The problem happens on X server side for sure - now I'm running gnash on
another machine with X forwarded to local display. No CPU load on gnash
side, but 100% CPU load by X server. No significant traffic either.
This hang happens after drawing:

for (int i = 0; i < numPoints; ++i) {
  // draw scene
}

glAccum (GL_RETURN, 1.0);

if (_video_frame._frame.get()) {
    // this is never called
    reallyDrawVideoFrame(_video_frame._frame.get(), &_video_frame._mat, 
&_video_frame._bounds);
}

// now we'll hang here in glGetError()
check_error();

Seems like it'll hand on any gl function, as if I comment glGetError
out it'll freeze somewhere else. Also it freezes for almost a whole
number of seconds (sometimes 7, sometimes 8).

Maybe this will give a hint for somebody aware of X internals, while I
play with the code to either fix this or revert to non-antialiased mode.

That's good to hear, it'll be useful anyway for performance reasons. The
best thing would be to be able to toggle it in runtime.
