[PD] Further GEM rendering problems

Hi all,

After initially thinking that everyone's advice here had solved my problems,
I appear to be back at square 1!

I'm having a problem whereby when a video is played through the GEM window,
the sound is played, but the images are not present, and a white screen is
displayed where the video should be playing. Earlier in the week someone
suggested to me to replace the Gem.pd_darwin file with one from the GEM
website. Which at the time seemed to solve the problem. But now it's stopped
working properly again!

I'm looking for any ideas...sometimes everything works fine, and the video
plays without a prob, but at other times I get nothing and/or PD quits on
me. It seems really sporadic, I cannot spot a pattern that  may indicate the
problem. I've also tried restarting my computer and re-replacing the
Gem.pd_darwin file all to no avail!

My system is:

Mac Mini (OS X 10.4 Tiger)
1gb RAM
1.25GHz G4 PPC Processor

PD Version: Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC7
(With GEM.pd_darwin file from GEM-0.90.0-OS X-G4-bin)
