Yes, interested. If you can prune down to some minimal set of SDL 
causing the crash(1) - more interested :-). Pruned to a small number of 
lines you can post it inline here. Otherwise largish text files can be 
posted to the povray.text.scene-files group (or as an attachment to a 
new github issue - needs to have a .txt suffix added). If you can create 
zip files or tar files these can be posted as binaries to the 
povray.binaries.scene-files group or again to github as an attachment to 
an issue.

There is further detail on how to report bugs at the bottom of this wiki 
page:
