I could not find that section of code in github. could not find the installer
source.

why not make that change right now?

btw, submitted a minidump, it was bacause of clicking close [X] on upper right
corner of povray 3.7, causes a crash.
got 3.7 to run by double-clicking pvengine32. pvengine32-sse2 causes a minidump
on AMD athlon x2 64.
