I've just installed v3.5 beta 7 and am getting an illegal operation every time I try 
to render a scene.

System: Abit Be6/500MHz PIII/256MB/Windows 95 OSR2

Example errors:

Any ideas?

I have now and it works perfectly.

Many thanks,
Jon.

I have also recently downloaded 3.5 beta test and confirm Jon O'Brien's
experience. I have conistently managed one render without Povray crashing:
slopemt_dat.pov seems to run OK. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several
times and the illegal operations described in Mr O'Brien's message occur
every time, with the one exception mentioned above.

I am running on a 1GHz  P4 with 128MB and Windows 95 B,

Is this a general problem or just me and Jon?

	Interesting.  I had a similar error every time I rendered a
scene on the Windows 95 machine at work.  I had posted this a few
weeks back (beta 6) but no one else could get it to happen (some
people were nice enough to try, thanks!).  Until you posted, I
wondered if perhaps it was a problem ONLY on my system.  It seemed to
happen on any scene that used a #while in it.
	Since then, the machine at work was wiped and they put Windows
2000 on it so the problem disapeared so I can not investigate this
further.  :(
	Can you render the biscuit.pov file that comes with povray?

I couldn't render either of the demo scenes or re-render the insert menu 
bitmaps. I only tried one other scene, which renders OK in 3.1, and that failed 
too.

Hmmm.  That is very much my experience with beta six on the
Windows 95 machine.

One more silly thing to try.  Try to render this next scene
in 3.5:

/* simple test */
camera {
  location 0
  direction <0, 0, 1>
  right <(640 / 480), 0, 0>
  up <0, 1, 0>
  translate <0, 2, -10>
}


sphere {
  <0, 0, 0>, 1
  pigment { color rgb <0, 0.5, 1> }
  finish { ambient 0.4 diffuse 0.6 }
}


plane {
  <0, 1, 0>, 0
  pigment { color rgb 1 }
  finish { ambient 0.3 diffuse 0.7 }
}


light_source {
  <-3000, 3000, -3000>
  color rgb 1
}


/* actual end of this file */

Sorry for the delay in responding.

I don't have a copy of the Intel compiled binary anymore, I'm afraid.
