Yes.

The solution is to change the POV-Ray source code to limit max_trace_level.
I know some other people will start a flame war now that it is so necessary
to have an unlimited max_trace_level, but that doesn't change the fact that
it has to be limited.  Crashing is obviously not an option and a limit is
the way to fix it.
