Okay, --- FINALLY! --- I have normal internet access back (took
them long enough) so I downloaded the dome generator, and tested
with a randomly generated dome. They DO have triangle meshes in
them... although they are not altogether a mesh like I expected.
Apparently anything the plugin can do with non-meshes, it does,
but sometimes, you'll have a mesh{...} object in the dome union,
so that's most probably the cause of the triscan crash. Open 
your .pov file in a text editor, and do a text search for all
occurances of the keyword "mesh", replacing it with "union" and
you should be able to scan it.

Hmmm... very interesting plugin, too.
