	Do you really think such a minimal information will suffice
to know what can be the cause of your problem?  You do even fail to
mention which version of POV-Ray you are using...

	At which moment the segfault occurs?  Do you have any console
output appearing, or does it crash as you as you start it?  Does it
crash when you use display?  You can also try recompiling the program
by configuring it so as to include debugging data useful for the GNU
debugger GDB.
	Please  try the following, from the root directory of your
povray source distro:

% make distclean
% ./configure --enable-debug [additional options]
% make
% gdb ./unix/povray
(gdb) run ./scenes/advanced/biscuit.pov -f +d
_some_error_messages_should_appear_here_
(gdb) backtrace
(gdb) quit

	and report the full output messages.

	Thanks,
	- NC
