Thanks for the help with this.  I checked my page file settings & memory
available during rendering & both seem fine (about 400MB free RAM during
rendering).  I changed the pov file last line to be object{Patch}.  Still,
no change in the behavior on my desktop PC.  I rendered an animation series
& 4 frames into it, my computer hung (nothing works...just plain locked up).

I installed POV-Ray 3.6 on my laptop & everything works perfectly with the
same pov & image files.  Grrrr.

So, I'm thinking maybe there's a corrupt file somewhere on my desktop.  I
tried uninstalling & reinstalling (again!), but no luck.  If I don't use a
height_field, my desktop POV runs normally.  Anyone have an idea of a dll
that might be getting called during height_field number crunching that I
can delete/reinstall manually?

Thanks,
-Bryan
