My last few upgrades of openSUSE have seen more and more developer tools
removed from the basic OS.  The excuse I heard was "security," but I'm
starting to wonder if the overlords are seeing themselves as gate keepers.

For what it's worth, these were my results with openSUSE Leap 15.3:

  povray-3.8.0-alpha.9945627   std::bad_alloc
  povray-3.8.0-beta.1          std::bad_alloc
  povray-3.8.0-beta.2          segmentation fault
  povray-3.8.0-alpha.10013324  std::bad_alloc
  povray-3.8.0-alpha.10064268  std::bad_alloc

I believe alpha.9945627 was the rollback point.
