I check the povray.conf file and read access was fine,
and i had already tried with the -d parameter. I have found that i can
call povray without any parameters and get it to respond, but the minute i
add an input parameter, it causes a core dump.  More explicitly, i am using
a
system call inside of perl script to execute povray.  Again, there are no
problems from the command line, but it core dumps when run through the web
server.
