Did you add it back in ?
Maybe it wasn't included anymore because of problems like you having now ? ;)
So, what's the deal with concretePolyList ?

I think it's more likely there's a bug in the terrain polylist code, as it seems to be the case it's not allocating an intermediate structure that it references later on...

Whoops. Well, I have a shiny Mac OS X box on the desk next to mine, maybe I'll be able to check up on that before I leave this Thursday.Meanwhile, I found out that the terrain polylist code breaks if you try to do too large a chunk at a time.
