Pov 3.5b5, AMD Athlon 700, 192MB Windows 98SE

I think this is probably a memory.  When I run the following file, POV-Ray
disappears while parsing.  No error reports are generated by Windows or
POV-Ray.  POV-Ray just silently shuts down.

The file 'trace.txt' has consecutive numbers from 0 to 760.  It also fails
on multidimensional arrays, but sooner.  If you take out the #declare Q=1;
it doesn't crash.

#macro Print(X)
    #fopen DFile "trace.txt" append
    #write (DFile, str(X,-3,0), "\n")
    #fclose DFile
#end

#declare G = array[1000]
#declare X = 0;
#while (X < 1000)
    Print(X)
    #declare Q = 1;
    #declare X = X + 1;
#end

I think this is the bug of the hour, caused by loops that contain only
#-directives and declarations.  See other posts from the past few days for
the gory details.

That's what I've been thinking :-)
