I think the limit of functions per scene in POV3.5 is 65535.

I've tried to test the behavior when the number of functions is
more than 65535.  The below is the test code.
I expected an error message something like ""Maximum number of 
functions per scene reached." but the current RC crashes.

Win2000, 256M,  both Intel and VC++ compile
