I'm having problems with the mesh-object in Superpatch 3.1e. Since I only
have Povray 3.1a, I can't say if it's also in POVRay 3.1e, f or g.
The problem is simply that I cannot make a mesh object. Superpatch stops
with the message:
error: Attempt to malloc zero size block (File:
C:\incoming\povsrc\super31a\PARSE.C Line 3796).
(and the line causing the error is always the first thing in the mesh that
isn't a triangle, but a transformation, texture, or even a ' }' )
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

I think this is a known bug in SuperPatch to 3.1e which was briefly
discussed in povray.unofficial.patches a couple weeks ago. It is
not a problem in the official 3.1e.
It is sure to be fixed in the next SuperPatch version.
You could apply the fix discussed in that afore mentioned thread to
the SuperPatch sources and compile a new POV-Ray. (If you tell me you
actually want to do that, I can be more specific about it). another
possiblility is to get use MS-DOS version of the SuperPatch from
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Academy/8764/spovraydjgpp.html
which is fixed (for that particular bug anyway)

I forgot to mention that, assuming it is that same mesh bug,
if you can use smooth_triangles instead of plain triangles
in your mesh, it will work. the malloc problem is only with
plain triangles.

Thanks for your help. I think I'll just wait for the next Superpatch. Or
maybe Povray 3.5...

Hi, Zeger. Why not grab the latest version, 3.1g for most platforms, if
the download time is not cost-prohibitive for you?

Because I want to use Superpatch-features.
