If you remember the multi-threaded Shadow Mapping thread from a few 
weeks ago, Wojtek tested a variety of examples on a variety of driver 
versions on Windows XP and Vista, and it seems that most drivers have 
trouble doing multi-threaded RTT on Windows. What's more, most (all?) 
drivers tested would crash when switching threading models when doing RTT.

No solution was forthcoming when we investigated this, and the thread 
kind of died for lack of time from both of us. I think going through the 
examples and removing the explicit setting of SingleThreaded threading 
mode where it makes sense might be a good way of generating interest in 
this issue and eventually making progress towards a solution.

What do you think?
