Hi,

I don't know what your problem is exactly, but it really looks like it is the same I
have : with transparency and ior, high max_trace_levels would GPF (in windows95).
I was told by a member of Pov-Ray team that this bug was corrected in POV 3.1.

I don't know if it is any help to you, but I can't help more than that.
CU,
Al.
