Please confirm that this is a bug:

  Make a file (for example trash.txt) that contains something not readable
by the #read command, for example just:

@

  Then make a scene file which tries to read that, for example:

#fopen inFile "trash.txt" read
#read(inFile, Trash)

  Render this. Povray for windows, as well as megapov for windows will both
crash.
  Does this happen to anyone else?

  Neither of the Unix versions crashes in this situation, so it seems to
be a windows-specific problem.

No crash here. Some error message about expected string literal but
no crash.

  I wonder why it crashes in my system.

  I'll try it again today to see if it was just something else, like some
other program interfering or something like that.

Bug confirmed. Tried official Visual C++ compile and MegaPov 0.4 - both
crashed. Official Watcom compile didn't crash. I am using Windows NT 4.0
SP6.

This was previously reported to me and has been fixed for 0.5.  You can
expect 0.5 for Windows to be available by this time next week.
