[jitter] jit.qt.movie gworld error

Hi Joost,

Your question got me working on a jit.gl.lua code that does what you  
want, i.e. loading a bunch of jpeg images. Actually I did it because  
I was getting those exact error messages in a completely different  
context! So I tried to replicate the error in lua with your concept  
and I can't get them to appear. I don't know if you maybe need the  
latest versions of max and jitter to use jit.gl.lua but you can try.  
I posted the patch in the lua gencoord thread but you can find it  
here too:

You will also need jit.gl.lua beta which you can find here:

good luck
