When rendering the attached POV file, POVRay craches with a access
violation. I have also included the dump file.

I am rendering at 320x240 AA0.3, on a PentiumD 620 (2x2.8GHz) with 1Gb of
DDR RAM.

This crash is 100% repeatable and it always crashes in exactly the same bit
of the image, the 4th block of 4th row at 320x240.

I beleive the problem may be due to light_group handling as this was the
last thing I added to the scene file. If I remove the light_group from the
Pod #declare, it renders OK.  It also renders quite OK in POV3.6.1c

If you need any more info, just ask

Thanks for this, will investigate.

For what it's worth, rendering that scene file on the same version and 
with the same rendering options doesn't cause a crash for me.

Neither did I register a crash. Rendered smoothly. 4th row, 4th block takes 
longer that's all.

Does this problem still occur with the current beta? I did analyse the dump
you provided but it doesn't have enough information to really be sure of the
cause; if it still happens with beta 20a I'd want to get you a debug compile
so the dump is more detailed.

I have just re-run the test with the same files... It fails consistantly 
with 3.7Beta20, both SSE2 and standard build.  But works consitantly with 
3.7Beta20a, both builds!

Many thanks

Rarius
