I have also recently downloaded 3.5 beta test and confirm Jon O'Brien's
experience. I have conistently managed one render without Povray crashing:
slopemt_dat.pov seems to run OK. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several
times and the illegal operations described in Mr O'Brien's message occur
every time, with the one exception mentioned above.

I am running on a 1GHz  P4 with 128MB and Windows 95 B,

Is this a general problem or just me and Jon?
