Maybe a stacktrace would help developers track it down; although I don't 
know if it's compiled with debugging information.

If you were running povray as:
$ ./povray -Isomefile.pov +w640 +h480 -whatever-other-options

Try this:
$ gdb povray
(gdb) set args -Isomefile.pov +w640 +h480 -whatever-other-options
(gdb) run

Wait for the segfault, and type 'bt' on the (gdb) prompt.
