Then the bad news is that I don't know why it crashes; on my machine, 
the scene clearly bombed due to an uninitialized-variable situation in 
the `text` primitive, which shouldn't occur if you use `global_settings 
{ charset WHATEVER }` (or `#version 3.8`, actually).

The latest alpha fixes that situation. Let's see whether it also fixes 
your crashes.

If it doesn't, I'll be clinging to the straw that the crash might be 
specific to the `arialbd.ttf` font, and that I'm not seeing it because I 
might have a different version of that font on my machine; in that case 
I'd like to ask you to try with one of the distributed fonts, e.g. 
`crystal.ttf`.
