Using GGUI with cuda backend fails with VMA assertion

[jorge-ortega]

Describe the bug Using GGUI with cuda backend fails with VMA assertion.

To Reproduce

import taichi as ti

ti.init(arch=ti.cuda)

window = ti.ui.Window("GGUI Test", (800, 600))

Logs

$ python .\ggui_test.py

Just realized that all taichi/examples/ggui_examples/*.py are failing on my Linux box with the same assertion:

~/Depots/taichi/python/taichi/examples/ggui_examples$ python fem128_ggui.py

but, curiously, all the taichi/examples/simulations/*.py are working fine!
