[osg-users] Crash in osg 3.4.0 on Virtual Machine when OSG_GL3_AVAILABLE enabled

By building OSG against GL3 you are essentially adding a strict dependency
on OpenGL version3 API features in the driver. This is also allowing for an
optimization by instructing the code to "assume certain features exist,
don't explicitly check for them at run time". When your system does not
meet this dependency, the code may crash however.
