my self compiled beta.2 (Linux) too crashes, same error I think.  the
alpha.9945627 outputs the 'pt_' ok.

changing the macro to

#macro make_spline()
    spline {
        quadratic_spline
        0, <0, 0, 0>,
        1, <0, 0, 1>,
        2, <1, 0, 2>,
        3, <2, 1, 3>
    }
#end

gives me 'Parse Error: Spline must have at least one entry.', and no crash.
