G'day,

When runnning PovRay Beta 11 on Windows 2000 SP2, the following code
produces either

1. A normal PovRay "explected float constant" error
2. Endless "Unable to allocate memory for message string" dialog boxes
3. A crash and instant exit from PovRay

It's hard to tell which particular effect will occur ... I just run the
script a few times and it soon crashes.

If I remove the #debug line from the following code, it no longer crashes...

// Crash PovRay Beta 11 on Win2K
//
#declare Result = vnormalize(<0, 0, 0>);
#debug "Hello!\n"
#fopen Test_File "test-bug.tmp" write
#write (Test_File, Result)
#fclose Test_File
#fopen Test_File "test-bug.tmp" read
#read (Test_File, A_Variable)
#fclose Test_File
