I was running it on one machine, wanted to run it on another with a different VM but the main window was in the way of the command.  So I moved the main window so I could read the command line and lo and behold it failed immediately.  So if I start the demo,and then pick up the window and move it, the primitive fails within very few seconds.  That could be a clue.
