Confirmed. Win98 POV-Ray v3.5.b2 Athlon 950 256 Ram

PVENGINE caused a stack fault in module PVENGINE.EXE at 015f:0043f0b1.

This could be a compiler-related problem, ie. there are no bugs in the
POV-Ray source code, but the problem is generated by the compiler. Some
compilers allocate a laughably small recursion stack for functions. The size
of this stack can be usually increased by a linker parameter or something
similar.

With Windows 32-bit code, it can even be increased after the fact by an
appropriate utility.

Same on Macs (all one needs is ResEdit), and for threads it is even easier
as the stack size is set at run time when a new thread is created (I assume
the same is true on Windows).  BTW, the current Mac core code thread stack
size is 600 KB, what is the POV-Ray for Windows stack size?

(These are the values for a custom build of what was similar to beta 1;
since they're set by the IDE, I suspect all builds have these values.)

    100000 size of stack reserve
      1000 size of stack commit

Please note, those are hexadecimal numbers.  4K commit, 1M reserve.
