Confirmed. Beta 11, Powerbook G3 266MHz, 192MB RAM, MacOS 9.2.2 US;
rendering 320*120, all other settings default.

Closer analysis reveals it's a memory issue:
With the default allocation of 14919K it freezes right at the beginning of
parsing.
25000K - freeze somewhere in the middle of parsing.
45000K - quit with error 1 at "Creating bounding slabs".
48000K - "
49000K - freeze in the middle of rendering line 10.
50000K - renders fine.


Ryan, if you have time, could you have a look at my "Mac GUI partial image
oddities" (http://news.povray.org/povray.beta-test/21765/)?
Thorsten says he is unable to reproduce it, while I am unable not to
reproduce it.
