It could be that whoever made the VC5 project files never compiled it in
release mode (obviously, given the optimization-related lockup in 
lighting.c.) The VC5 project editor defaults to editing either debug or 
release but not both, so when comctl32 was added, it may have been added 
only to the active target.

Note that rebuilding will not affect editdll.dll, because it is a Delphi
DLL and is not rebuilt from VC++.  I copied the binary editdll.dll from my
official installation of POV, and it does have to be in the same directory
as the executable.  I have not encountered the error the original poster is
seeing.

Does SP3 fix this optimization error?
