Problem with Vertex Arrays - please help

[[twisti]]

Ok, so this is my source, more or less:

  for (int i = -10; i <= 10; i++) {
     for (int j = -20; j <= 20; j++) {
       if (j % 2 != 0) {
         offset = 0.5f;
       } else {
         offset = 0.0f;
       }

       GL11.glEnableClientState(GL11.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
       FloatBuffer b = BufferUtils.createFloatBuffer(3 * 4);
       b.put((float) ((i + offset) * 1.4142f));
       b.put((float) (j * 0.7071f));
       b.put(0.0f);
       b.put((float) ((i + 0.5f + offset) * 1.4142f));
       b.put((float) ((j - 1.0f) * 0.7071f));
       b.put(0.0f);
       b.put((float) ((i + 1.0f + offset) * 1.4142f));
       b.put((float) (j * 0.7071f));
       b.put(0.0f);
       b.put((float) ((i + 0.5f + offset) * 1.4142f));
       b.put((float) ((j + 1.0f) * 0.7071f));
       b.put(0.0f);
       b.flip();
       ByteBuffer b2 = ByteBuffer.allocateDirect(1024).order(ByteOrder.nativeOrder());
       b2.put((byte) 0).put((byte) 1).put((byte) 0).put((byte) 1);
       b2.flip();
       GL11.glVertexPointer(3, GL11.GL_FLOAT, b);
       GL11.glDrawElements(GL11.GL_QUADS, b2); ***
       GL11.glDisableClientState(GL11.GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);

Each time I try to run it I get this error:

An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) occurred at PC=0x3DC003D
Function=[Unknown.]
Library=(N/A)

NOTE: We are unable to locate the function name symbol for the error
     just occurred. Please refer to release documentation for possible
     reason and solutions.


Current Java thread:

   at client.OpenGLController.<init>(OpenGLController.java:74)
   at client.GUIController.run(GUIController.java:127)

The line it's referring to is marked with ***s.

ps.: Everything else works, the openGL context is up, running and rendering, if I just other GL11-functions.

Could be a driver problem. What drivers / OS are you on?

WinXP SP2, and everything else runs fine :|

Try using a ShortBuffer for indices. Byte indices are not very common, as far as I know. If that works, it could be a driver bug.

That seems to have fixed it, I'll update this if it keeps working (the bug doesnt show up 100% of the time).
