Problem Description: 

From (103796-01):
  1239344 pixel spans intermittently fail in SDRC 2.1
  1240889 xil_blend doesn't check number of bands properly
  1241129 In PDGS ffb sometimes clips to the wrong clip rectangle
  1242356 sunfire with ffb gets  WID LUT error on sunvts
  1244731 UG crashes sometimes when environmental mapping on
  1244790 Small kernel values < 1/1024 give incorrect results in some cases
  1245331 Certain Xlib calls do not draw correctly on the FFB
  1247042 Form HTML pages in Netscape are extremely slow on FFB
  1247870 Polygons rendered with wrong colors when they are clipped
