Tried out the lens flare, first thing. Made a new scene, with a camera,
light, no objects. Made the light visible in the camera's view.

Created a lens flare. Set the camera to my cmaera, and the light to my
light. Rendered.

The poveditor gave me two extensive errors (with lots of FFFFFFFF kinda
things (I can copy these down next time)) and my computer locked up
entirely.

This has happend both times I tried this feature. Ouch.

I got the same thing!  For some reason, when the camera was facing away
from the light, I got no errors, but when facing towards it I recieved
erros every time.  Is there a problem with the plug-in or am I doing
something wrong.  I noticed in the PovRay message window it said something
like the look_at Z coordinate was too long.  It looked like
3.43564000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 or
something like that.  What's wrong?

Hrm... with the camera away, did you get a flare?

Logically, you shouldn't. Only visible lights should create flares.....

No, I guess I didn't mention that.  With the camera facing away I didn't get a
lens flare, but I didn't recieve any error messages.  (Like when the camera faces
the light source)  The scene just rendered like usual.

Argghh! Sorry my mistake. Please get the new lensflare plugin here:

  http://www.stmuc.com/ftp/pub/moray/lensflr.zip

and unzip into the Plugins subdirectory of where you installed Moray.
