[jitter] jit.qt.movie gworld error

Hi Joost -

This is a weird error to get, and would generally only crop up in a  
low-memory situation. The last major change to the jit.matrix object  
(to fix a similar memory leak) was on Mon, 25 Sep 2006, and was an  
issue with the 'exportimage' message. I don't see any other changes  
since then which would influence this (and a quick review of the code  
suggests good memory practices).

You really should be using the x.6.3 versions of everything though.
