POV 3.5 RC4 icl on WinNT Sp 6 PII 233 with 128 MB

following scene caused POV to crash

#local S=sphere{0 1};
#local N=<0,0,0>;
global_settings{max_intersections -1}
#local I=trace(S,2*x,-x,N);

and btw1: max_intersection 0 not caused any warning

I call that justice for unfair input ;-)

This will be fixed in POV-Ray 4.0 or later I suppose.

Yes, because it is auto-adjusted to two.

I will check this!
But be aware: at morning I printed all my reports with 5,5pt font size in 3
columns on A4. I finished today on rechecking page 17 of 47. Good night.
