Crash of all sphereworld programs

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run any Sphereworld program

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No crash and the program running according to what is stated in the book.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Revision 192.
OS: Gentoo Linux for AMD 64 arch.

Please provide any additional information below.
My graphics chipset is an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX

Below is the backtrace of Sphereworld via gdb:

The backtrace are similar for the other Sphereworld programs.

Hi,

I debug the SphereWorld program and I found the problem. The glutMainLoop() 
function calls the callback functions in this order the first time:

- RenderScene()
- ChangeSize()

Due to this order of execution, the object modelViewMatrix is not correctly 
initialize, leading to a crash when the object's methods try to access some of 
its attributes (pStack in this case).

The only workaround I found is to call ChangeSize(), with the correct 
parameters, explicitly between SetupRC() and glutMainLoop().

I am using freeglut 2.6.0 as provided by my distro.

The object transformPipeline is not properly initialized, because the call to 
the function transformPipeline.SetMatrixStacks() is made in ChangeSize(), which 
is too late.

To get this code working just move the line
transformPipeline.SetMatrixStacks(modelViewMatrix, projectionMatrix);
from ChangeSize to SetupRC().

Tried both of the above - same crash, 

First-chance exception at 0x68f592ed in SphereWorld4.exe: 0xC0000005: Access 
violation reading location 0xbaadf0ed.
Unhandled exception at 0x68f592ed in SphereWorld4.exe: 0xC0000005: Access 
violation reading location 0xbaadf0ed.

at this point in the program:

    // Randomly place the spheres
    for(int i = 0; i < NUM_SPHERES; i++) {
        GLfloat x = ((GLfloat)((rand() % 400) - 200) * 0.1f);
        GLfloat z = ((GLfloat)((rand() % 400) - 200) * 0.1f);
        spheres[i].SetOrigin(x, 0.0f, z);
        }
