Performa 6400 with Sonnet Crescendo G3 Card
RAM : 80Mb, 14Mb allocated to PovRay
System 9.1 (french)
CarbonLib 1.3.1
POV-Ray Mac 3.5 beta 6

Try this :
- Launch POV-Ray
- Open any file with the editor
- Open the "Find" window (command-F)
- Type any string containing an underscore in the 
  "Find" field (for instance "look_at", or even "_")
- Hit the "Find" button

=> POV-Ray hangs the Mac. The only way out is to reboot
   the computer.

Hope this helps,
Stephane.

Thank you for pointing this out.   I cannot promise it will be fixed in time
for beta 7, but I will try.
