I had hoped that this could be tested on
a MAC and a Linux machine too.


Further testing shows that this code:


#declare AA = array[1]
#declare AA = #declare AA = y;
#declare AA = #declare AA = z;

sphere { 0*y, 0 }


- leads to POV-Ray giving this error
message in the Messages window:

"Parse Error: Attempt to free NULL pointer
(File: ..\..\source\parse.cpp Line: 8222)."



I wonder if this is the same bug, or if
this one is somehow triggered by the zero
radius sphere. When I change the radius to
1 I get the same "Access violation" error
as with the first script I listed.
