As I said, render.c also shows this behaviour. I did this one step after 
another.
I compiled verse with

#define V_PRINT_SEND_COMMANDS
#define V_PRINT_RECEIVE_COMMANDS

then I copied libverse.a and verse.h to the right system places

next I compiled verse-tests with following in the Makefile. Its a bit 
overspecified.

VERSE=../verse

CFLAGS=-g -I$(VERSE) -I/usr/local/include/glib-2.0 
-I/usr/local/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/X11R6/include
LDLIBS=-L$(VERSE) -lverse -lGL -lglut -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lGLU 
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/local/lib

Now I start verse wait some seconds and start render
What I expect is that I see a 3D window and this happens.
What I not expect is that I can see a lot of terminate messages on the 
client (render) shell (xterm) a few seconds after start

And ... its not everytime I start verse. On 10 tries it is 50/50. Hard 
to track this down
