Hi, I had an issue running povray 3.7 RC2, here are the info:

O.S.: Windows XP SP3, running MS security essentials, dropbox 1.0.10, windows

Fresh install of povray 3.7 RC2 on january, 17, 2011 - 11am (GMT-3)
Opened tabs (in order): Messages, optics.pov, benchmark.pov, revision.txt,

Thanks for the report - the issue is fixed for RC3 (no date yet).

I also experienced such a crash in a scene using media, so it's
likely the same problem. Still, here is a minimal sample scene:

cylinder
{
   -0.1*x,5*x,1.01 hollow
   interior
   {
     media
     {
       method 3 intervals 1 samples 5
       scattering {1, color rgb 10 extinction 0}
     }
   }
}

Crashes with 3.7 RC 2 under Windows 7 x64 (e.g. at
320x240 No AA but seems to be unrelated to settings).

Fix confirmed, thanks!!
(Christian's minimal sample scene also worked for me in RC3)
