Hi Folks,

Can someone please give me a sanity check?

I have a simple (section of a) scene which either stops with an out of
memory error while building slabs or throws an unhandled exception
depending on minor variations.

I can not see what the problem is.

System: 933MHz PIII, Win XP Pro SP2, 512Mb.

Thanks for any ideas,

Mike Andrews.

#declare Phi=(sqrt(5)+1)/2;
