I did some work on this issue and it only appears under Linux - Mac OS X 
is unaffected. My suspicion is that it's a bug somewhere in SDL or the 
linux graphics subsystem that kills the stencil setup on a window 
resize. I've changed the workaround to reset the SDL library only under 
linux and only when the window size actually changes. That way, the 
tests run almost as quickly as before :-).

Anyway, Nick, if you still want to work on this, that would be great. 
Otherwise, I'll pick up from here. It might take some time, though.

Cheers,

   Uli
