It's home page http://condor.stcloudstate.edu/~hebl9901/g3d says:

         I would like developers and debugger type
         people to take an interest in my project. Be
         careful, until tests prove otherwise, consider this
         violently unstable software, and not appropriate
         for the casual user. (Ie, expect stuff like X
         lockups)
