Not sure wether this was reported before.


//-----------
#version 3.8;

#macro SomeThing(A)
  #local RD = dictionary;
  RD
#end 
 
#declare SD = SomeThing(1);
//-----------

This crashes POV-Ray. Sometimes it asks to write a dump file.


//-----------
#version 3.8;

#macro SomeThing(A)
  #local RD = dictionary;
  (RD)
#end 
 
#declare SD = SomeThing(1);
//------------


This results in: test.pov" line 5: Parse Error: Expected 'numeric 
expression', dictionary
identifier found instead
