A 'Damned thing' means every scene I'd thrown at it up to that point,
which was most of the example scenes.

Here's a scene that crashes Intel compiled POV-RAY on NT4 SP5

//------scene start------------------
camera {
  location  <0.0, 0.5, -15.0>
  look_at   <0.0, 0.0,  0.0>
}

cylinder{0,y*5,1.01}
//-----scene end---------------------


If you comment out the cylinder or the camera the
scene will render.

The only other scene I've got working so far is the basic 
scene template but even that scene required the finish on 
the sphere to be commented out before it worked.

I can't upgrade service packs unfortunately, as I said it's at work and 
they won't install SP6 as it supposedly breaks something or other that we
use.

It basically needs a warning so NT4 SP5 users are aware of the problem
and maybe adding to the known bugs list.
