Yeah, I understand your problem very well. While stepping through 
hundrets of lines of assembler code I did suspect the calls
glTexImage2D and/or glGetTexImage to be the critical parts but it might 
very well be the case that some initialization before did already fail. 
Sorry, this is all I can tell as I'm just an OpenGL n00b ;)

While I did play around with the debugger (and accidentally did corrupt 
the ATI drivers) I did also find out that in this case the 
Windows-OpenGL-layer falls back to a GDI software emulation mode that 
works (at least with an i7) not as bad as it sounds. Maybe a button 
within PoseRay to force software emulation (if this is possible) would 
be a cleaner workaround than moving dll's from the stone-age around?
