POV 3.5b4 on PII233 128 MB with NT4Sp6
I have reported this bug some time ago and I gave solution for it for
MegaPOV but without sources I'm not sure it is exatly the same
problem.
Here is my solution:
http://news.povray.org/povray.unofficial.patches/7152/
And here is script to test it:
//<SDL>
#local Step=.1;
#local Obj=union{
#local Counter=Step;
#while (Counter<100)
difference{
sphere{0,Counter}
sphere{0,Counter-(Step/2)}
}
#local Counter=Counter+Step;
#end
}
#local Start=2*max_extent(Obj).x*x;
#local Norm=<0,0,0>;
global_settings{max_intersections 9}
#local Inter=trace(Obj,Start,-Start,Norm)
global_settings{max_intersections 99}
#local Inter=trace(Obj,Start,-Start,Norm)
//</SDL>

What was the solution for MegaPOV? I suspect the problem is the same
as it was there, and it's not at all nice.

Have you checked link posted by me within first post ?
Solution was there.
Check again : http://news.povray.org/povray.unofficial.patches/7152/

Insted of forbiding proposed by me there could be also release of all
stacks and new alloc for them.

HTTP links aren't very useful if you're on a machine without a decent
web browser, as I often am. These are even less useful, since there's
no way to find the article in my archive from the information in the URL.

Not really, message ID or xref are far more useful. However, your message
can be found by subject line using telnet news.povray.org:119
200 news.povray.org DNEWS Version 5.5c3, S0, posting OK
group povray.unofficial.patches
211 7288 5 7452 povray.unofficial.patches selected
xpat subject 1-10000 max_intersections - possibility of bug ?
221 subject fields follow
5724 max_intersections - possibility of bug ?
.
quit
205 closing connection - goodbye!
So the xref number should be 5724 for your message in
povray.unofficial.patches.

Or in my archives by the same basic method:
[ron@fwi news]$ search -iindex/povray.programming subject=max_intersections
# results: 1

Sorry again
I was very late - I was hurry to bus
I spend 4 weeks on building my house and now I'm back and can see that
even if you found my article the bug is present within beta 6
If I can suggest: my method with forbidding changing of
max_intersection is not elegant (but works).
At time of parsing there is always base level on intersection stack
therefore it should be rather reallocated as requested
