  slab building error (Message 1 to 4 of 4)

Can someone tell me what a "slab building error" is? It was followed by an
"out of memory error; cannot allocate -87040 bytes for temporary tree entry"
message.
Hmm, wonder what POV is trying to tell me!

Probably that you don't have enough memory. :-)
It sounds like it ran out while calculating bounding boxes.
Can you provide some details of the scene and your system?

This is a wild guess, but I faintly remember something about the camera
not being orthogonal and the unability to build the bounding slabs.
  What are your camera settings?

I think that was for vista buffers...this sounds more like a memory 
problem. I know I have come across it before with large numbers of 
objects.
