I am repeatedly publishing Markers and MarkerArrays to RViz and then, randomly, this error occurs. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

I am running RViz from inside a docker container using the X11 server of my Ubuntu 12.04 host. The docker container is running ROS Jade and Ubuntu 14.04. RViz reports the OpenGL version as 4.5.

Are you properly publishing the markers? That is, deleting/rewriting them ?

Does publishing a marker with the same namespace and id not overwrite the previous one?

How much memory do you have? Have you checked that your machine still has free RAM when rviz crashes?

Does this error appear during the starting rviz, or well after its running?
Is this an issue that --env="QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1" would solve?
See the end of this ros wiki tutorial:
wiki.ros.org/docker/Tutorials/GUI

The other thing, how are you enabling hardware acceleration for opengl in the container? I've only been able to install the graphics driver in the image, and mount the GPU devices to the container to get dedicated hardware to work. I though I got away without this if my machine was using an integrated graphics instead.
