   I tried to render the scene POV-Ray for Windows
v3.5\scenes\animations\life\life.pov and pov crashes consistently.

This is probably the while loop bug that has been reported several times
now.  The POV-Team is aware of it.

Does the while loop bug cause a stack fault?  My parametric surface
generator sets it off rather quickly.

Yes.  It should be fixed now.  I don't know when it will find its way into 
a beta, however.

Soon?  Almost everything I am currently working on sets it off :-)  Of course, I
won't be doing anything else until Friday, so I suppose I can wait :-)

I'll probably upload a new pvengine.exe with the fixes Ron made, plus a larger
stack allocation, in the next 24 hours.

  My SDL raytracer could be a good test scene for testing this. It has many
loops and recursive macro calls... Just put a high enough resolution (at
least 320x240) and it should be a good test.
