Why do I get the error 'Too many nested objects'? I've got 4000 simple
objects generated in a while-loop. (MegaPOV 0.7)

Without seeing the code, my first guess would be that you forgot the closing
bracket in the object (assuming the object is a CSG of sorts).

  You ask a question and then answer it? ;)

  Without seeing the code is hard to say anything.

Maybe you have your 'union' statement within the while loop?

Nope, no csg. The syntax is as follows:

while 
 while 
  while
    $d=d+(.8+.2*rand(R3))*.03;
    sphere {d/2 Pos}
    $Pos = newpos(d,Pos)
  end
end
end

The scene parses successfully if I replace line 4 with for instance
$d=(.8+.2*rand(R3))*.03;

Limitation or bug? I don't know, but the syntax above turned out to be
wrong.. it should be 

while 
 $d=d+(.8+.2*rand(R3))*.03;
 while 
  while
    sphere {d/2 Pos}
    $Pos = newpos(d,Pos)
  end
end
end

which works! :)
