A bit of googling showed that this is not an error that's unique to
rview/rvu (or Radiance in general).

I would think it's a problem with the graphics card driver (ATI was mostly
reported). You could try
to disable the 3D acceleration (won't affect rview/rvu, but other things
like blender) or use a standard
driver and see if that helps when you run rvu. If that's your problem
upgrade/downgrade to a different
driver version or replace the graphics card with another type/chip.

Regards,
Thomas
