  SuperPatch - Problem with Gilles Tran's Window Macro (Message 1 to 3 of 3)

Hey all,

When trying to render Gilles Tran's exwindow.pov (or any other file using
the window macro) I get the following error:

translate <------ ERROR
mwindow.pov: 943: error: Attempt to malloc zero size block (file
c:\incoming\povsrc\super31a\parse.c  line 3796)

note that I don't have a c:\incoming...... directory nor is one referenced
in exwindow.pov or mwindow.pov.

Any clues...?  I'd hate to have to take all the SuperPatch stuff out of my
scene (mostly max_extent statements to line-up text objects).

I think that report is to tell the programmer where in his source code the
problem appears to reside. It has nothing to do with you.

It is I who has a c:\incoming directory, for historical reasons.

This problem should be fixed in Nathan's MegaPov patch or in the
preliminary 3.1g Superpatch.
