Hi, Martin,

First read and consider Robert's warning above (to me, it seems that 
switching the active texture unit in the middle of a traversal is just 
asking for trouble). 

Next, have you tried using just glActiveTexture() (without the "ARB")?  
glActiveTextureARB() is the function from the ARB_multitexture extension. 

Since OpenGL 1.3, multitexture has been part of core OpenGL, and the 
core function is just glActiveTexture().

Hope this helps...
