 An interesting problem: I am doing hardware-assisted picking (with pick() and
endpick()) under mex, on SGI IRIS 3000 series machines. If I call winattach()
while in hardware picking mode (after pick() and before endpick()) mex crashes.
Sometimes killing mex, killing any and all csh's, and saying gclear fixes it,
sometimes it doesn't and I have to reboot. Taking out the winattach() call
fixed everything.
