Please don't try this at home; a containment lab would be recommended
for such experiments ;)
As a matter of fact, there are known situations where leaving out
closing stuff (`#end`, closing parentheses, closing braces) in an
include file may indeed cause POV-Ray to crash hard.
And no, I'm not doing anything about it, because for each of these cases
I fix, I tend to discover two more that are twice as difficult to get
rid of.
It's a hydra thing, and I've decided to stop exhausting myself fighting
it. As long as it just lies there dormant, only swallowing the
occasional unwary passer-by once a year, I'm fine ;)
