The following trimmed-down scene still produces the crash:

------------------
light_source {
     <0, 0, 0>
     color rgb 0.5*<1,0.905882,0.211765>
     fade_distance 500
     fade_power 1.6
     looks_like {_3024_dot_dat texture {
         pigment { rgbf <1,0.905882,0.211765,0.90> }
         finish { ambient 0.6 diffuse 0 phong 0.5 phong_size 40
             reflection 0.9
             refraction 1 ior 1.25
             }
         }
}    }
------------------

Note that _3024_dot_dat is undefined.

Apparently this is a bug in the program that generated the scene file 
(L3P as it seems). My first guess would be that it fails to properly 
include sub-models that are only used as light-source lookalikes.

At the same time however, this is also a bug in POV-Ray, as it should 
properly report the problem instead of crashing hard.
