I have this as well after a recent upgrade and a series of other
problems (which will never be reproducible), and it's still here
after a re-install of all things Python-related.  (So I assume I
have some video driver problems.)  I cannot say for sure that it
ever worked on this machine as it's fairly new and I don't recall
running any PyOpenGL on it since I got it.

Python 2.3.3 on WinXP, wxPython 2.5.1.5, same PyOpenGL, and no
idea what glut.dll version I have.  This is running the "GLCanvas"
demo, as the old OpenGL demo appears to be gone in the latest
wxPython release (or is it just a name-change?).

(Don't know what glut.dll is or where it's from either...  my
last-modified date says 1998-08-11 but the attributes say it was
created 2004-3-7.  I'll dig further if it appears to be relevant.)
