SUGGESTED FIX http://sa.sfbay.sun.com/projects/java2d_data/6u10/6667607.0

EVALUATION The effects framework creates too many VIs and we run out of vram, and the bug is that that we try to initialize these "special" VolatileImages if their accelerated surface is null. They're "special" because they are created via the RSL API (AccelGraphicsConfig.createCompatibleVI()) which is supposed to return null if requested image type can not be created. So for these images we do not create a heap-based backup surface if an accelerated surface couldn't be created since they will not be used if they aren't accelerated. One way to fix this is to check if the sdCurrent is null in VSM.initContents() and don't attempt to initialize the image.
